Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is strongly linked to poor gut health and chronic inflammation. IBS involves ongoing inflammation in the digestive tract, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Disruptions in the gut microbiome and heightened stress can further exacerbate IBS symptoms by impairing gut function and increasing inflammation. A study in the Journal of Gastroenterology found that over 60% of individuals with IBS have an imbalance in their gut bacteria, contributing to symptom severity. Another study published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences showed that stress management reduced IBS symptoms by 40%, highlighting the connection between stress, gut health, and inflammation.
