I don't understand the mindset behind a comment like this. Where does the confidence behind this opinion come from, when the knowledge basis falls below "bothered to Google it"? The idea of a hypochondriac making a spurious claim to IBS is pretty ludicrous.

Lumping PCOS in with gluten allergy is giving "shit men believe about women's health." Maybe try listening to some women before forming opinions on their reproductive health.
