I'm having the same experience; finally have been told that I have a chronic yeast infection in my small intestines, probably have had for years and years and just got used to feeling sick. No doc ever spoke to me about candida albicans, intestinal permeability, and healing the gut, but now that I am down that path and approaching those problems, I can't believe how quickly things have improved for me.
Now I can look at "IBS" as a symptom, not a disease; something else is / was behind it all along and now I can address that. I have not eaten dairy or meat or high fat foods for years and I will remain so for my health anyway. But now I don't feel like a victim anymore; I'm over obsessing about fibre ratios; I'm finally getting answers, and learning the right questions at the same time!
And best of all, my disordered eating has been totally brought back under control by finally understanding my body better, and promising to look after it properly now.
