Maybe you’ve noticed that certain noises or smells can set off your IBS?
And maybe you’ve thought that’s crazy?!
It’s not just you. And you’re not a weirdo.
Sensory stimuli like** perfumes, traffic noise, or fluorescent lights** really can set off or worsen IBS symptoms.
The exact mechanisms are not fully understood, but it’s likely due to central nervous system sensitization common in IBS patients. This triggers a stress response that affects the gut-brain axis.
And more about that IBS brain-gut dysfunction…
You are not alone.
