Beside FODMAPs there are common GI triggers that need to be removed/reduced. Kombucha is frequently made with tea - usually black tea which contains caffeine a well-known IBS trigger.

BTW - the FODMAP approach is not a list of trigger foods. It is a process of eliminating all high FODMAP foods for 6-8 weeks and then reintroducing foods from each of the five FODMAP groups one at a time. This helps you figure which and how much of each FODMAP groups you can tolerate.

Many people have problems with effective probiotics for a couple of weeks. Did you take VSL#3 for considerable period of time? I believe on the label they say you might experience bloating and things like that for a couple of weeks.
