If you know the causes, you can know what tools to employ to address those causes. IBS has many causes, and broadly speaking, that can fall into one of three categories: Emotional, Physical, and Chemical Stressors. Once you know where your stressors lay, you can develop a strategy using emotional, physical, and chemical tools to support them.
We discuss childhood trauma, food poisoning, antibiotics, the Low FODMAP diet, meditation, and their impacts on IBS.
