Has IBS increased amongst the Gaming population?

My son has had some issues for a while and loves his gaming, but I wondered is IBS becoming more prevalent amongst those who are gamers.

My son indicates that he often has pain when he plays and has linked this to the tension surrounding getting caught by your oponant. Additionally, two of his friends (Also gamers) have issues.

Does IBS have an environmental factor I wonder?

Would be great to hear from other gamers or of any research found.
