Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Duration and flares
You might well have heard of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but like many people, not know much about it even if you suffer from it yourself. IBS is actually an incredibly common condition, and it is estimated that up to 15% of the population may have it, with women being most regularly affected by it[i]. Despite its prevalence, the condition itself is fairly complex, and experiences can vary from one person to the next.
