Is IBS a New Disease?
IBS has to be one of the most talked about disorders of the 21st century.
It seems to have become more prevalent in recent years. This could be due to a number of factors including eating a more refined diet, stressful lifestyles, irregular eating patterns and the increasing use of chemicals in the food chain.
In fact, IBS has probably been around for a long time but may have been given different names, such as sensitive stomach or simply indigestion.
Newspaper and magazine articles, as well as the wealth of information on the Internet has certainly raised the profile of IBS. This has possibly resulted in more people believing that they have the condition.
It is very important to obtain a proper diagnosis of IBS as more serious disorders of the digestive tract can have similar symptoms.
