Bloating? Cramps? Diarrhoea? Constipation? Been told it's IBS or suspect you have it?

IBS is what you're told you have when your gut troubles can't obviously be explained. With far more women than men suffering from IBS, higher rates of anxiety and depression in female IBS sufferers and several possible causes of IBS symptoms, it's essential to go beyond that diagnosis and get some answers. In this episode, Cloe and Kate talk about different causes of gut symptoms, why conventional IBS treatment can do more harm than good and where to start with identifying the cause of your IBS.

Warning – There are some swear words because we get worked up about women's health.

We LOVE science-based research. Studies mentioned in this episode:

The joint and gut bacteria study Cloe mentioned.

Kate talked about the link between IBS and SIBO and IBS and endometriosis.

Cloe mentioned the research showing probiotics can be detrimental after antibiotics.
