I think that's because IBS is a catch-all name for a bunch of different complaints
with similar symptoms that nobody has any solid explanation for.

You have seen Gonz's culinary delights haven't you?

To be fair to Gonz, that's circumstantial at best.
I just figure that it's probably best to have a body that's as healthy as it can otherwise be when you're trying to cope with a pretty crippling condition.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to work out that constant consumption of bowel irritants
is a bad thing. But Gonz buys into stuff like the caffeine/opiates bollocks so if it works for him, meh. I've given up trying. Although, rightly, there's no reason he should pay any attention to what some prick off the internet says. Even if I am right.

Sure, they probably don't help
but simply being irritants doesn't necessarily mean they're the stuff that's irritating his. Likelihood doesn't make certainty.

Just playing devil's advocate, here.

Meh, it's his poo-splattered funeral.

the fact is that correlation equals causation

The fact is, he's addicted to opiates
and on some level doesn't really want to do anything that might result in a limited supply.

You can't really blame a person prescribed opiates for ending up addicted to them.
They are deliciously moreish.

No, I don't blame him for it.

Why do over the counter painkillers contain caffeine?

They'll help him get a shag, the lack thereof is his no. 1 concern.

That's spot on.
You won't find many over weight people with chrones, for example.
