extreme problems require extreme solutions
every ibs is different unfortunately
the most extreme diets come with the most extreme problems
ahead of you is a long road of minmaxing your food. as a modern man you are used to eating literally thousands of things, a hundred spices, a million obscure chemicals and """"""natural flavors"""""" and ""generally accepted as safe (except in california)"" and """"""""""""natural coloring"""""""""""". you will reduce this to a dozen or so things.
gone will be the days of sorbitol, sodium acid pyrophosphate, potassium lactate, modified whole half natural doublemonodigorinnoshoichnicalciumcucksoyphate...
you enter a new age, the age of USDA BEEF, EGG, SALT, and water from the fucking tap with a filter you replace often. Say goodbye to your precious spices, your sauces, pizza, and all fast food you fat loser. No, seriously, unplug your microwave. Sell it. Throw it in the garbage, whatever. You WILL thank me later, you will NOT eat the bugs, and you WILL own your own land and car. And you will be miserable regardless because fixing IBS doesn't bring her back.

i had a friend that went to a party college. he developed IBS and it made him miserable. i always suspected he had somehow nuked his gut flora by heavy drinking during early college.
but that was just a hunch. i'm not an MD. i don't know why he got it. and i don't know what made it go away.

the purpose of fecal transplants is to reestablish a healthy gut biome (the microbes in your digestive tract).

Bad posture. Compressed vagus nerve meaning that there isn't proper signalling from the brain to sequence digestion. If the smooth muscles are ill-timed then doesn't matter how many poop transplants or eubiotics you stuff down your gullet the feedback cycle will fuck up because they don't get to digest your food properly, which means they can't maintain optimal population levels. Compressed Vagus Nerves are also associated with elevated stress, and you know what that does to digestion: all that fast metabolizing and cortisol to give you quick energy.

>IBS
Your gut bacteria is out of whack and/or your diet is bad. There are many different types of IBS, the symptoms for each type are numerous and difficult to describe. Doctors use the term "IBS" because they don't know shit about shit. If a study doesn't exist then your symptoms don't exist, at least not in a way a doctor can care about

There are a lot of studies need to be done to identify all of the different types of IBS and their causes. These studies won't be done any time soon.

A classic double-edged sword.

On one hand it can loosen what is already stuck but on the other it could delay a movement, giving it time to dry out and form a plug.

I've found medications can cause constipation in two ways. Opiates must put the gut to sleep, everything moves so slow the turds just dry out into sticky nuggets that don't like to move. Other drugs can cause your abdomen and butthole to be tense enough to delay the process.

I would start by avoiding eating anything that causes your stomach to get upset, even a little bit, for instance milf is fine for me but things like buttermilk, creme fraiche and greek yogurt almost always turn my stomach. On the other hand things like dates, sweet potatoes and meats seem not to have any reaction to, so listening to your body is a key part in beating something like IBS or controlling symptoms.

That's contrary to what I was told the mechanism of lactose intolerance is.
Apparently, there are bacteria in your gut that digest lactose. Normally, they would die during early childhood because humans are breastfed only for a short time, and those bacteria just don't get any nutrients. The thing is that we feed babies and children milk and cheese en masse, so that the bacteria survive for much longer.

This.
also realllllllly avoid fruit/fructose.

Stick to meat and dairy and whole grains, not processed flour/pasta or other garbage.

NEVER eat packaged foods like TV dinners, etc.

Cut carbs, as carbohydrates are what feed the bad microbeds in your gut and body.

Eat more good microbes that exist in dairy like plain yogurt, NOT that flavored sweetened shit.

Sitting more naturally and improving your posture. If that doesn't work then they need to actually stimulate the nerve

Working at a desk for long hours, looking down at your phone all day, being tall and having to constantly 'duck' under things and crook your next down to make eye contact with people. Trades that cause you to crook your neck to observe or work in confined or low spaces. Childhood posture problems. There's many reasons it might be compressed.

If you ever seen videos of colonoscopies with commentary by proctologist, the problem could be like a million things, and diagnosis of what it could be between Crohn's, IBD, and IBS is on a best fit on a spectrum. Obviously endoscopies are definitive, but if it's something like "yea the linings look healthy, no polyps or lesions", it's pretty much up to you. The easiest thing to try first is eating a different variety of greek/probiotic yogurt, and hopefully one of them improves the symptoms (this is definitely safer than chugging prebiotic bacteria packets). Also try to figure out the source of the flair-ups, as it could be anything (e.g. food, extreme anxiety, etc.).

I've had bad IBS most of my life. I've been eating like most people all my life, processed stuff, fast foods, soda, candy, and all the rest with regular "healthy" meals also.

Last summer I went for a month eating only eggs, meat, potatoes, dairy and some fresh veggies. I ate nothing that I didn't cook from scratch, no sauces, no seed oils or processed stuff. Also lowered my alcohol intake a bit. It has completely changed my life for the better.

I slip every now and then and eat crap though I feel horrible afterwards so it helps me to stave off cravings.

Also started exercising regularly which likely also helped

tl:dr clean food and exercise fixed my IBS
