IBS
IBS is thought to affect between 7 and 15 percentage of the population worldwide. It is more common in women than men and most often diagnosed before the age of 50 years
Although IBS is a relatively common condition, it often goes undiagnosed. Undiagnosed IBS is problematic for the patient and can negatively influence QOL, as patients are left feeling anxious, frustrated, and searching for an organic cause for their symptoms, but unable to utilise effective, targeted therapies.
