IBS affects 1 in 5 people in the UK and is now understood as a disorder of the gut-brain axis, not just a gut problem, which explains why stress triggers symptoms and why psychological treatments are effective.
Treatment must be multifactorial - combining dietary modifications, lifestyle changes (exercise, stress management, sleep), medications, and psychological support rather than focusing on diet alone
