There are also mental symptoms caused by IBS (backed by research) such as depression, stress, brain-fog and overall fatigue. I wish I had known earlier that these symptoms are a result of IBS, and I think it is very important to spread this knowledge.

Thank you for your videos. Have you ever been tested for the SIBO-IMO? The symptoms with IBS are so similar and I didn't know there is a breath test. Not sure if you will ever see my post, but if you do, I hope you make a video regarding SIBO-IMO. Thanks!

So in the mornings About 30 min after waking up my upper abdomen starts hurting a little bit but after passing my first bowel movement it starts getting worse than towards the end of the day around 8pm it’s starts subsides then all over again in the morning. I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy, HIDA scan, CT scan and X-rays done and all are normal. What can this be? I’ll be starting to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables and see if that helps.

I was diagnosed with IBS this last week
And now that I know what has been slowly killing me the past few years , I’m on the low fab diet a week in I’m feeling tons better !! I will surly continue

[@didititian]

So glad to hear that the low FODMAP diet is helping so much! Do review the reintroduction of FODMAP foods over time also to help promote ongoing healthy gut microbiota and prevent risk of longer-term micronutrient deficiencies.
