It’s weird how your body can throw tantrums in totally different areas—and still somehow be connected. I learned that the hard way juggling migraines and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I used to think they were completely unrelated: a pounding head and a temperamental gut? Nope. Turns out, there’s more of a link than I ever…
