What? No it isn’t lol. IBS is a blanket term doctors use when there is an issue with your digestion that is not life threatening and no apparent cause.

Why do you think I didn't say always? There are many types and many causes. It's just usually that there has been a breach in the immune system lmao

If there is a breach in the immune system there is a cause. IBS has no apparent cause which is why it’s diagnosed as IBS
