Why IBS rates are increasing

I’m wondering…why is data showing that more people in western countries have IBS compared to the rest of the world?
Was it always like this and now we’re just reporting it more? Does it have to do with our modern food systems? Let me know what you think in the comments below!👇

Modified foods with substances we are not Meant to process

Processed foods with dyes, sugars, and gmo's. This is by design. My IBS is actually celiacs, which is an allergy to glutrn protein.

Sorry but it's our crappy food with alcohol on top of it!

Western diet is the cause. A lot of fast foods.

Interesting point!

My question why would IBS suddenly start at 58 years old when there never was any bowel issues ever? Sudden violent long lasting diarrhea and IBS-C ever since. Is this not just gastroenterologist's way of saying no clue what's going on?

It's our food and the stress.
