Any advice appreciated :(

Hey everyone, so I’ve had severe IBS - C for most of my life. But my body decided for almost a year to tease me and it SUDDENLY went away. It was like a damn miracle. I️ could eat and drink anything I️ wanted and never had a flare up.

Well, suddenly it came back. And it’s worse than ever. My symptoms from eating almost ANYTHING are:

• EXTREMELY foul, sulfuric smelling gas. I’m talking hours of it or days with severe bloating where my lower stomach is hard as a rock and I️ look 6 months pregnant

• Periodic constipation for days

• Fatigue, strange smelling sweat

• Sometimes diarrhea, but not as often as constipation

I’ve been on culturelle for years. The only switch up I️ had was that I️ got a yeast infection, which I️ took fluconozole a month ago.

I️ feel so defeated. The gas is horrid and embarrassing. All of this went away when I️ got into a new relationship, which was odd, and now with it back I️ hardly know where to start. Going to try an elimination diet. I’m not lactose intolerant or gluten intolerant.

Biggest food triggers seem to be:

• fake cheese / dairy products
• butter
• nearly all super processed foods
• ipa beers
• right now PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING
• still figuring out the rest / it’s been so long since a flare up that I️ hardly remember them

Does this sound like something else entirely? Or did I️ just go into remission and now I’m out of it? Has anyone else had these symptoms? I’ve been crying all morning because the gas won’t stop and it like… sticks in a room. Ugh.
