WHO

Hey! so someone asked  "Can you develop IBS at any age?"
I thought this is something a few of you may be wondering. 

IBS occurs in all age groups but is more commonly diagnosed in patients under the age of 50.
The condition is nearly 50% more common among women than men.
The prevalence of IBS is estimated to be between 5% and 10% of the population of North America.


Wow! this condition is really quite common. If you are suffering from IBS, at least you're not alone!
