If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or know someone who does, you know of its debilitating effects. Between abdominal cramping, constipation and/or diarrhea, IBS can make even the easiest of tasks or excursions difficult. With its onset typically being triggered by food, it can also be stress or hormone-induced (making management tricky). Because of its symptoms, a lot of women wonder if this syndrome can cause adverse effects on pregnancy or even lessen the chances of conception. Researchers can not say for certain if IBS can cause issues during pregnancy and conception, but studies do show a slight correlation.
