Felt better for a couple of days! Yay! But why?

This is confusing. I started a modified version of the diet a week ago as an experiment. Basically I cut out sugar and many carbs (while still keeping soluble fiber in via other foods). Unfortunately I also ended up having to take a megadose of antibiotics on Monday due to some dental work. A day later, I felt 100% better. Felt good for 2 full days and part of another one. No D, no cramps, no gas. First time in many months. My husband and I celebrated! Then the symptoms started to slowly return. I'm not as bad as I was prior to this week, but I'm heading in that direction. It seems to me that it may have been the antibiotics that helped.

Note: I haven't gotten a definitive IBS diagnosis as yet. Still waiting on one more set of tests. Those tests should show if I have a bacterial infection of some kind.

Curious if anyone has any thoughts on why the brief improvement. Hope it happens again!! It was great to feel normal again!
