We are talking Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS for short today and I hope the title grabbed your attention because this topic is one I love to cover and by that I mean debunking the diagnosis. IBS only needs symptoms to reach a "diagnosis" and it comes from a process of elimination and not actually pinpointing what's actually going on. If you know me, this annoys me to not end which is part of the reason why I left the hospital setting and I hope through today's episode you'll understand the concept of IBS from a better lens.
