Millions of adults have missed work, social events, a date, or even a holiday – due to stomach discomfort.
Research into 1,000 adults, who suffer from IBS and other gut conditions, admit they have missed over six days of work and the same number of social occasions in the last year.
Pains, bloating and tiredness have contributed to dodging such plans, according to those polled – with a third having turned down a date due to the fear of discomfort.
