We're digging into the confusing and often frustrating world of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). With gastroenterologist Dr. Luis Vazquez from WakeMed as our expert guest, we explore what IBS really is, how it’s diagnosed, and how to tell it apart from other gut conditions like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. Sarah shares her own journey with IBS since the age of 13.

From the role of fiber and diet to the mysteries of the gut microbiome, this episode covers the latest science on IBS and why why treatment looks different for each person.
