Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS is a common digestive condition that affects how the bowel functions and is thought to affect at least 1 in 10 people in the UK.
What is IBS?
IBS does not cause damage to the bowel itself, but it can have a significant impact on day-to-day life.
Symptoms often come and go and may be triggered by medications in particular antibiotics, antacids like PPIs, gut infections, viruses, certain foods, stress, illness, hormones, or changes in routine. IBS can affect everyone differently, which is why finding the right support often requires a personalised approach.
Symptoms may come and go and can range from mild discomfort to more disruptive digestive issues.

Common symptoms
- Abdominal pain or cramping, often relieved after opening the bowels
- Bloating (feeling swollen or ‘pregnant’)
- Excessive wind (flatulence)
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Sensitivity to certain foods
- Flare-ups often linked to stress
“In clinic, I found that IBS is rarely the same for two people. Identifying individual triggers and supporting digestion and the gut appropriately can make a real difference.”
