Virat was lying down in bed. He had been to the toilet several times in the last few hours and was very uncomfortable. He had consulted the doctor regarding his problem. The doctor told him he had irritable bowel syndrome or IBS and medication could help only upto a point. He would basically have to live with it.

He had just read a news item in the morning paper which extolled the virtues of breast milk and how doctors and researchers felt it was a possible cure for IBS, cancer and heart disease. He thought if he could somehow get or buy some breast milk it would be worth trying if it could solve his problem.
