You're likely no stranger to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), be it because you suffer from it yourself, or know somebody else who does – or perhaps you've heard about it due to celebrities speaking out about their own experience of living with IBS? A common digestive condition that can affect anyone, IBS causes unwelcome symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea. The exact cause is unknown, but some experts say it may be down to food passing through your gut too quickly or slowly, having overly sensitive nerves in your gut, stress (or the gut-brain connection), or a family history of IBS.
