This week's episode is a bit of an emotional one! I was joined by a guest to discuss the impact of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) on her quality of life. Being a functional disorder, this condition is often not taken seriously by medical professionals as there's usually no structural "abnormality" or "problem" with the patient. This makes it difficult for non-IBS patients to understand as everything on the outside and even in scans and clinical tests seems "fine". However, IBS patients are far from fine. From social anxiety, to depression, debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms and even body dysmorphia, it is clear that IBS poses a huge burden to the wellbeing of patients. The goal is that more people feel comfortable talking about their symptoms, helping one another, and hopefully someday, an effective and long-lasting solution will be developed.

ENJOYYYY and don't forget to share :)
