Is the ‘Hot Girls Have IBS’ TikTok trend justifying digestive issues in the pursuit of a body ideal?
While #HotGirlsHaveIBS have been celebrated for highlighting how gut issues and chronic syndromes can impact all of us, with the main message is that you’re not disgusting for dealing with bloating, burping, diarrhoea and constipation, normalising the condition might mean people are turning a blind eye to the cause.podcast, King went on to explain just some of the ways that disordered eating habits can lead to IBS: “When you restrict your food, your digestive system slows down.
“Your nervous system can become less responsive during eating disorders and can make constipation a more frequent symptom, and when you’re constipated and not passing stools as often as you should be, it leads to more bacteria being present in the small intestine and this can lead to a number of IBS symptoms.”But it’s not a one-way street. Many people who develop harmful eating habits do so as a result of their pre-existing digestive problems, King says.
