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.

  • There wasnt much sunlight in Wales in october november december january only bit in febuary and some this month (even if it says on weather it will be sunny its mostly unnaccurate) 

    and theres people who are sensative to it like me i cant stay out in it without getting headaches

    if IBS is linked to gaming, it could be just shooter ones maybe they should lay off shooter games (and im not saying play on games all day so dont try to say it)

    Im not one to shut myself in a room to be honest and if you had a situation like i did this evening it makes you want to give up with socialiaing
