Exactly have the same experience as you. After I got diagnosed with IBS, I started having pretty huge personality changes lasting to this day.

No idea the path to recovery is

I also have struggled for years with IBS-C, SIBO, food sensitivities, chronic inflammation, and mood disorders. It all started with multiple parasites and infections (e. Coli, giardia) from a year in India.

Rifaximin, an antibiotic, helped reset my gut and symptoms would disappear for a while but slowly creep back.

The thing that finally fixed it for me a little over a year ago is a well formulated probiotic called Seed. They have a fancy capsule that helps it survive stomach acid before delivering the goods to the bottom of the small intestine. I had tried many other probiotics and every home fermentation project before that to no avail. Within a week of taking Seed I felt 90% better, and the improvements have stayed with me for over a year and going back to a normal diet.

Good luck <3

Yeah, it's pretty complicated. I have gotten blood, stool, and urine tests and all have come out fine. Food that previously would never cause any issues cause massive problems nowadays. Did your issues come from any dietary changes? How did they appear?
It happened over many months. I was a student at that time and had a poor diet. Mostly ate vegan food with lots of fruit.

I have had numerous tests done and everything came back as normal. Following fodmap diet currently but it’s very restrictive. Almost everything triggers my ibs symptoms

This happened to me too. Vegan in college for 1.5yrs and ever since have had ultra sensitive IBS. Feel lied to by so many people.

The exact same case for me.
