Shawneric, thanks for your response. The bacteria was klebsiella pneumonia. I believe that this bacteria exists in many who are healthy, but an independent lab showed it at "dysbiotic" levels for me. I became ill after a serious case of food poisoning during a time in my life that was stressful and I wasn't in the best of health anyway. It's possible that my situation was not IBS from the beginning; rather, a bacterial issue. But, my symptoms have been very similar to those described by many on this site. I had some relief with the hypnosis, peppermint caps, fennel tea, and the diet, but always felt like I had a "stomach flu." I was pale and tired. Addressing this bacterial issue seems to have helped for me, but I've learned on this site over the years that we are all different and different combinations of things work for different people. Just wanted to share something that seems to have helped me, in case it benefits others.
