Everyone always wants to know what caused their Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but often you can't know for sure. This episode aims to provide clarity amidst the confusion.
- IBS - A biopsychosocial condition influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors.
- Post-infectious IBS emerges as a common trigger, often following a bout of gastroenteritis or food poisoning, disrupting intestinal barriers and triggering chronic inflammation.
- Motility issues play a significant role, with slow movement leading to bacterial overgrowth and constipation, while fast motility causes diarrhoea.
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is highlighted as a treatable cause, affecting a substantial portion of IBS sufferers.
- Additionally, improper digestion of certain foods, especially fermentable fibres, and the intricate gut-brain connection are explored as key contributors.
- The gut-brain connection and how this can impact your digestion
