If you have irritable bowel syndrome and this week is making you sick, take heart: You’re not alone. Between the drama of Election Night and the knowledge that Donald Trump will be the 45th president of these United States, it’s been a bad few days for IBS sufferers, who are talking about it all over Twitter.

I'm not sure if it's IBS or the fact that we as a whole devalue other people this much to elect this guy, but my stomach hurts. — Baine Dikeman (@BaineDikeman) November 9, 2016

Okay look I'm not surprised I'm having a super bad IBS attack with everything that has happened the past 2days but I'm still annoyed with it — Caitlin 👑 (@kawaiicaitlin) November 10, 2016

My IBS is flaring up because of this damn election. America has declared war on my bowels. — HALentines Day...ve (@typoxia) November 9, 2016

Me too. And I can't tell if my tummy issues are bc of my IBS or the election. Probably both. — Cherlene Nerland (@pookiener) November 10, 2016

But Americans aren’t the only people feeling unwell.



Sorry if it seems like we're shitting on you America. It's just that you've triggered our collective IBS. Love, Canada — ken lawson (@kenlawsonsauce) November 9, 2016

I should be happy. The amount of IBS, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, and chest pain this created makes GI's the most popular docs in the US — Lena Palmer (@palmelb) November 9, 2016

#Stress really shows in your digestive system — from simpler symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation to more complex conditions like #IBS. — Cleveland Clinic (@ClevelandClinic) November 9, 2016

Pass the Pepto.
