OUR MISSION
Females are disproportionately affected by gut disorders such as IBS and IBD. In addition, females report higher rates of constipation during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle. Yet, this phenomenon has not been able to be explained
​
Team BELI hopes to provide quantitative evidence to validate this experience.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
How do estrogen and progesterone levels throughout the menstrual cycle affect gut motility?
What is the degree of knowledge of female gut disorders in our community?
