I think this is very true, that people don't like to talk about GI issues, or for that matter gynecological issues, so we are probably hearing much less about these that we would otherwise. Here's some very telling data:

Seems the market for ostomy care and accessories is booming!

For those who do not know: Many people with colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (auto-immune issues), end up with an ostomy, in which some or all of the colon is removed, feces exits via a stoma in the abdomen into a bag). It sounds horrible but with an ostomy a person can live a normal life and, unless they tell, no one would know they have an ostomy. Beats dying, or taking up residence in the bathroom.

My guess is that the covid jabs, being immunotoxins, may be behind some of this rise in the demand for ostomy care and accessories.

However, much can can be explained by the demographics-- as more people get older, they are more likely to get cancer and need an ostomy; in the past, without the ostomy, they would have died. Ostomies have been around for many decades but the quality of the care and accessories has improved dramatically.
