I wonder if there's a strong correlation between those who suffer IBS and people working in this industry. Seems to me like the mentality to continually push forward and overwork/stress ourselves can only contribute to poorer health both mentally and physically. Personally I suffer from.. Hmm, I'd say IBS-D based on the classifications mentioned here, although my symptoms are fairly mild (however, very consistent - ~5 years and counting..) save for a few more painful symptoms every now and again. There was an article on here last week talking about the strong correlation between our guts and our brain as well. These articles seem to gain a lot of popularity here on HN, which makes me think that this problem is more wide spread than it appears (perhaps just amongst HNers)
I'll report that I too have personally experienced a strong link between my gut and my mental state (I occasionally suffer mild panic attacks). I'm tired of having bowel problems - if anyone has any suggestions that have worked for them I'm open to hearing them (and I'm sure there's plenty of people reading who too are looking for suggestions). I've been working on removing wheat from my diet - I can't speak to the effectiveness yet as I've only just begun.
- Paul_Dessert 12y agoGood point. I'd be interested in knowing as well. I stopped drinking sodas, alcohol and milk. That helped a lot. I also physically moved and started working from home. This combination has almost stopped the symptoms. It seems like a combination of my diet, stress and overworking are the biggest factors for me.
