Many people suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It can be a very uncomfortable health condition that is difficult to manage. If you happen to have this condition and have recently also been dealing with kidney stones, you may be wondering if there is a kidney stone IBS connection. It's been found that various digestive diseases such as IBS, IBD, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis can increase the risk of kidney stones. Bowel problems can give you diarrhea and overall more frequent bowel movements resulting in you urinating less. Your body may also absorb extra oxalate from the intestine, so more oxalate accumulates in your urine.
