2 in 10 people in the UK suffer with IBS.
, one in five women have refused to have sex with their partners even though they’ve wanted to, due to IBS.
Dr Simon Smale, consultant gastroenterologist and trustee of the IBS Network, says that many of the women he sees are seriously affected by their symptoms. ‘We all strive for a sort of intimacy in our relationships and that is difficult for women when they’re worried about passing wind or that they might lose control of their bowels.’
‘Wind usually results from the fermentation of sugars in the large bowel that then produce gas, which is perfectly normal.’
