In fact one of the speculations is that stress may alter the gut flora which changes the mucosal barrier allowing bacterial byproducts to past the barrier increasing visceral hypersensitivity causing IBS symptoms.

That's really interesting!
But you would expect that meds like corticosteroids could work for that kind of IBS-trigger..?

I already thought this testing I did is not a 100% insurance there's nothing wrong. But since the probiotics didn't work for me, I don't think that kind of 'cure'/relieve is something I have to focus about anymore/a lot.

It will likely be a few more years before these findings lead to any clinically useful tools.

'A few more years' sounds promising!

Corticosteroids are usually used for inflammatory processes. Clinical studies show they are not effective for controlling IBS. The gut flora is believed to be involved in cellular signalling processes which involve different mechanisms than just immune responses.

Agree. From my understanding and experience that these kinds of meds cause massive inflamation in the body and are not somthing that should be depended upon long term - unfortunately
They can also cause a bit of havoc with your natural digestive bacteria balance in some cases..
