I discovered this could be caused by sugar alcohol. They can in some people cause irritation in the intestines and to help ease the irritation the intestines draw water in. This is also affecting your ability to get nutritional value out of your food. I struggled for nearly 12 mths.
I went to gastro docs and nobody could figure it out untill i cut out anything artificially sweetened and problem went. These chemicals are insitol mannitol etc basically any artificial sweetener.
They may be ok in small doses but when they are in a fair bit of what your eating it accumulates. Some of the c**p we eat we were never designed to. Like energy drinks and chewie for example. I used a fair bit of these too
Hope this helps. You should still discuss this with your doctor.

Hello, I have been diagnosed with IBS w/constipation before also. I was told about 3 years ago to try what's called a FODMAP Diet. I looked it up and said "NO WAY". It looked very difficult. You have to cut out dairy, gluten and sugar. It has helped me tremendously!!! It is very hard to stick to it, but it helps. You can look up Monash FODMAP Diet online. Hope it helps!!!
