I couldn't resist giving you a few words of encouragement here. The answer is NO, you are not alone. However, stress is a big factor when it comes to IBS symptoms, and college can be stressful.
You may not be forever allergic to the foods you seem to be having problems with now. Your body might simply be adjusting itself to what it needs presently to offset the stress factor.
I suggest that for the time being that you continue to eat lots of soluable fiber and allow your gut to calm down. Do pay attention to stressors in your life, and do whatever you can to resolve those sooner rather than later. Doing so will help you a lot. I know, I've been there!
IBS lurks once it shows its ugly face, though does not have to be a lifetime serious problem. Education is the key to having power over it rather than allowing it to have power over you.
My best to you now and in the future. Keep on keeping and taking good care of yourself before all else.
