Not all attention was negative. In 1834, an advertisement for Graham bread appeared in New-York as 'It Is' , a manual and guide to living in New York City. The guide pointed interested parties to Pierce and Luke, bakers who sold the bread at their bakery located at the intersection of Broadway and Leonard Street. The first published recipe for Graham bread appeared in 1835, emphasizing the use of finely ground, pure wheat meal. In that same year the Minnesota Farmers’ Institute’s Annual reported on the differences between Graham and white bread, recommending “the use of some graham bread in families of growing children,” though warning that the bran in the bread could be “irritating to a delicate digestive system.”

The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of factors, including abnormal gastrointestinal motility, heightened sensitivity to certain stimuli, changes in the gut microbiota, and possible genetic and environmental factors. It is considered a functional gastrointestinal disorder, which means there are no structural abnormalities or specific laboratory tests that can definitively diagnose it.
