Studies show that there is a connection between GERD (reflux) and irritable bowel syndrome. The chances are that, if you have symptoms of one of these conditions, you could also have symptoms of the other. Have a look at my video to hear more about it. Transcript of the Video Through my conversations with people with IBS, I have found many also have GERD or reflux. The Connection According to a 2009 study published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences, a first diagnosis of either IBS or GERD significantly increases the risk of a subsequent diagnosis of the other condition. This coexistence suggests that the two conditions may share a common disease mechanism. What is GERD? Just to clarify, GERD is a disease that may cause significant damage to the esophagus over time. What happens is that the stomach acids back up into the esophagus due to the lower esophageal sphincter muscle not working well and so lets the acid come back up.

The Video Is there a link between irritable bowel syndrome and the Type A personalities who create stress in their lives through being perfectionists, hard workers and overachievers? I discuss that in this video. Transcript Welcome to this video. Today, I want to talk a little bit about a connection between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the Type A personality.

I've talked over a long period to many people with IBS, and I can usually ascertain whether they're Type A personality or not.
