Physical symptoms can include diarrhea, constipation, bloating and abdominal pain, while the condition has also been linked to things like depression and anxiety. An astounding 10 to 20% of Americans live with IBS, while nearly 15% of the world’s population reports suffering with IBS symptoms. With Halloween and the upcoming holidays quickly approaching, many people will overindulge in sweet treats, like chocolate. But how does chocolate, specifically, affect IBS and other GI-related conditions? Well, Michigan Medicine’s William Chey, M.D., a gastroenterologist and professor of medicine and nutrition sciences, is an expert when it comes to how food affects individuals with IBS. He spoke to Michigan Health about how you can enjoy Halloween and the rest of the holidays while living comfortably with IBS.

In the 1900s, some experts came up with the idea of the “upsuck theory,” which essentially hypothesized that the uterine contractions that occur during an orgasm propel semen into the vaginal canal. But many studies have since proven that an orgasm is unlikely to factor into conception.
In the 1900s, some experts came up with the idea of the “upsuck theory,” which essentially hypothesized that the uterine contractions that occur during an orgasm propel semen into the vaginal canal. But many studies have since proven that an orgasm is unlikely to factor into conception. “That theory has been debunked,” says Katrina Sawatsky, a physician with a low-risk obstetrics practice in Calgary. In fact, American sex-education pioneers William Masters and Virginia Johnson conducted an experiment in the 1950s using dyed artificial semen in a cervical cap that was inserted into a subject’s vagina to determine if a woman retained more semen during orgasm. When the subject climaxed, Masters and Johnson used an X-ray to determine that there was no evidence of “upsuck.” “The sperm is going to swim as fast as it’s going to swim,” says Sawatsky. “It knows its job, and it’s fast.”
