If you go through the literature on occupation and IBD you will see there is a high correlation with office/factory work,which fits the IBD timeline.
While correlation is not causation a case can be made for indoor air pollution,dust/heating system gases,bacteria/fungus/lack of sun light,air conditioning,industrialization,air pollution,artificial lighting all in the early part of the 20th century. I would not expect that one office would have the same air pollution as another or a factory,but what else might they have in common,in the early part of the 20th century.
Low frequency 50-60 Hz/cycle electromagnetic fields,or some combination
of fields and pollution and lack of sun.
Here is a one person case study.. The doc is calling it IBS,but finding
inflammation,so not quite sure what the lady has.

PS:If anyone is interested I can link occupational studies.
ALso my son is a landscaper and he lost his colon,does not quite fit since outdoor work has a low incidence of IBD,but he went to grade school within a few hundred feet of high tension wires. I can't remember if wires are near his other schools.
