Well, the only connection I can think of would be that on Cpap you do get the benefit of more oxygen naturally, and it has been known to enhance some bio. systems in a general way, but there is otherwise nothing that would help IBS, though I suppose if you now have more energy, are more active and have possibly lost even a little weight your digestive system might have improved... you never know :D . Then again someone else is bound to show up here and tell you exactly how it has helped!
