IBS seems like the doctors way of saying "We don't know what your problem is".

Doctors told me I had IBS for 10 years, then a friend suggested to stop eating wheat, and 95% of my symptoms went away.

I'm actually about to start testing a FODMAP diet to see if I can improve my health any further.

Have you tried anything to improve your health, or did you just accept the IBS diagnosis? I only ask because I've seen no research that suggests IBS is a real thing, just a catch-all for many potential things.
