Measurements of volatile fatty acids demonstrated a decrease in the absolute content of acetic, butyric, and valeric acids as well as reduction of the total content of intestinal metabolites. Combined rehabilitative treatment including local application of low-intensity bioresonant magnetotherapy on the colon projection region exerted positive effect on the metabolic activity of colonic microflora in patients with irritated bowel syndrome and the prevalence of constipation symptoms.high-intensity magnetotherapylow-intensity bioresonant magnetotherapyvolatile fatty acidsmetabolic activity of colonic microflorairritated bowel syndromeвысокоинтенсивная магнитотерапиянизкоинтенсивная биорезонансная магнитотерапиясиндром раздраженного кишечникалетучие жирные кислотыметаболическая активность микрофлоры кишечника[Махов В.
