The ADHD-IBS Link

Hi Olivia,

Do you have ADHD and IBS?

ADHD - attention, deficit, hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopment disorder that impacts people of all ages.

Sadly, many people go through life being undiagnosed with ADHD.

3-4% of people in the UK are thought to have this condition so it is fairly common, just like IBS.

However, research has shown that people with ADHD seem to have a higher risk of IBS.

When you need to control your IBS, ADHD can make this difficult. However, things like mindfulness techniques and using a phone to alarm to schedule meals as a reminder can help.

If you want more information about the ADHD - IBS connection or tips on how to control your IBS when you have ADHD, check out our in-depth post here.

👉 This can impact everyone and not just people with IBS but the issue is that people with IBS may already have more gas in their gut than other people. So this change in cabin pressure can impact them more.
