With the reports saying that the younger generations have increased rates of IBS, suspected to be because of the abundance of microplastics in our environment, I figured I’d ask how many you have IBS?

    A lot of people who think they have IBS actually have SIBO, which is curable.

    Unfortunately, a lot of misdiagnosing happens, as it's easier to hand out an "eh, probably ibs, here's a list of foods to avoid" rather than actually taking a sample via endoscopy.
