Season 1
Episode 47
Published 2 years ago
Description
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
