Title: Factors affecting the use of herbal products in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
and their results; case-control study
Version: 3 Date: 25 Apr 2021
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting study - although would be helpful to see this in a multi-center study, which
included patients being seen in rural clinic or village doctor.  The point of bias that could be
caused by select marketing in certain areas (as mentioned in your Discussion) could actually be
taking effect in this small pool of subjects from one hospital's outpatient clinic. Overall, it is
very thought provoking and I enjoyed reading it.
There are several typographical errors which I have pointed out in my review.  They should be
easy enough to fix so that the reader can fully understand your meaning.
