Members connected over their shared IBS diagnosis, with many identifying gluten, dairy, and sugar as common triggers, though several noted that triggers vary widely from person to person, with some affected by eggs, stress, or still unsure what sets off their symptoms. Several members shared dietary approaches they're trying, including low-FODMAP, gluten-free, paleo, autoimmune paleo, and the GAPS diet, with mixed results and the common challenge of managing cravings, especially for sugar, alongside the expense and effort of specialty groceries.
