The Role of Inflammation in IBS
The prevalence of digestive issues like IBS may be due to a combination of increased awareness and rising stress levels. Factors like living a more stressful lifestyle, lack of time spent outside, and environmental pollutants could contribute to the inflammation and dysfunction of our bodies. Research now suggests that inflammation may be connected to IBS, although the specific markers for inflammation in IBS differ from those in conditions like ulcerative colitis. There are still unknown factors at play, but discussions and research surrounding these issues are expanding.
