Been awhile hope everyone is OK, This whole thing started for me in 1996 and I think IBS was one of the symptoms , a bad back was partially to blame for nausea and bad neck for ear pain. That still leaves the IBS which is like gas pain and sometimes loose stool 3-5x a day maybe once a week and sometimes it goes away for months. I see they finally came up with a diet plan Low Fodmap Diet: What it Is, Uses & How to Follow might be worth a try. I also found out chickory root powder is not something I ever want to eat again its in many things like a cheap filler, that and flax seed I avoid it not good for me.
