You are another who has found the connection. Treating OSA also treats colitis, reflux and irritable bowel syndrome.

A letter to the editor of Chest on apnea and IBS is at the address below.

My way of looking at IBS and OSA is the "peanut butter jar" routine. When the airway is blocked the diaphragm makes multiple attempts at increased effort (10 to 15 times normal) to overcome the obstruction.

This extra effort by the diaphragm 'hammers' the intestines, pancreas and kidneys causing colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes and gout.

The addresses below are my thoughts on autism and ovarian cancer.

You can search sleepnet and you will find more of my posts.

Best to all
