Top causes of IBS: 1️⃣ Gut-Brain Axis Dysfunction – Stress, anxiety, and gut issues are deeply connected, and when your gut and brain aren’t communicating properly, it can lead to IBS symptoms.
2️⃣ Low Fiber Intake – Fiber is essential for gut health, but many of us fall short, which can contribute to constipation and other digestive problems. Women need around 25g/day. Men need 38g/day.
3️⃣ SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) – An overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine can lead to bloating, gas, and discomfort. It’s been shown that around 3/4 of people with IBS have SIBO.
4️⃣ Food Poisoning – Past infections can damage the gut lining, leading to long-term digestive issues like IBS.
5️⃣ Gut Killers – Antibiotics, meds and toxins can harm the beneficial bacteria in your gut, causing imbalance and inflammation.
6️⃣ Low Digestive Juices – Low stomach acid, enzymes, and bile can cause malabsorption, leading to nutrient deficiencies and digestive discomfort.
