Synopsis: The brain-gut connection means that stress, anxiety, and emotions can directly affect digestive function. Signals constantly pass between the brain and the gut, shaping bowel movements, pain perception, and sensitivity. When these signals are amplified or misinterpreted, patients may experience discomfort even without a clear physical cause.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a disorder affecting millions worldwide, has long frustrated both patients and doctors. Characterised by recurring abdominal pain, bloating, and unpredictable bowel habits, IBS has no structural cause, making it notoriously difficult to treat.
Traditional interventions—diet changes, medications, and probiotics—often provide only partial relief, leaving patients searching for more effective solutions.
