Jackie O gives update on her ’25 year’ health condition… and even co-host Kyle Sandilands is left shocked
Jackie O Henderson has opened up about her struggle with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
On Thursday’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show, co-host Kyle Sandilands asked Jackie, 49, about her long history with the condition, which causes stomach pain, bloating and inconsistent bowel movements.
‘Nothing [gives me IBS] Not anymore,” she reported.
Kyle, 52, thought the news called for a celebration, leading the studio in applause and saying: ‘guys, she’s solid, we let that slip to the keeper.’
“After 25 years of struggling through what seemed like a sieve,” the shock jock added.

Jackie and the studio then burst out laughing at Kyle’s shocking description.
Irritable bowel syndrome is an often chronic disorder of the gastrointestinal tract.
According to Monash UniversityIBS causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea.

IBS cannot be diagnosed through tests such as blood tests, scans or intestinal biopsies (tissue samples analyzed in a laboratory), but is identified based on symptom criteria after all other gastrointestinal disorders have been ruled out.
No specific cause for the condition has yet been identified and it is likely that multiple factors are involved.
These factors include visceral hypersensitivity (an overly sensitive intestine), changes in intestinal motility, changes in the populations of intestinal bacteria, and disturbances in the way the brain processes information from the intestines.
Lifestyle factors, such as diet, stress and exercise, can also influence IBS symptoms.
