I am IBS -C mostly, sometimes D. Last summer I unfortunately was subjected to THREE rounds of antibiotics for a resistant sinus infection. During the last course, which lasted two weeks, I experienced near total relief from all my symptoms. But as soon as I was done with the drugs the IBS came back the same as before. I thought it was interesting anyway. Made me think perhaps there is something to the bacterial theory.




That is very interesting - based on conversations I've recently had with my GI docs that actually sounds like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), you might want to look into that. Anyway, it's very common for people with SIBO to get relief of the symptoms while on antibiotics, then have the symptoms re-appear once antibiotics are stopped. Most docs re-start the antibiotics over and over again (which could be good or bad).
