IBS is still dismissed by some people - even doctors - as a minor problem.
But 38% of patients in a landmark GI practice AGA study had considered su***de due to their IBS symptoms.
And that sounds pretty fatal to me.
If you are having suicidal thoughts please reach out 24/7 to the 988 Lifeline or just call 988 (or text) on your phone.
