Foods like high-fiber vegetables and fermented foods can worsen IBS if you have SIBO, dysbiosis, or digestive dysfunction. The food is rarely the problem. What's living in your gut is. (1:20)Q: Why does fiber make my IBS worse?A: If you have SIBO, bacteria in your small intestine ferment the fiber and cause more bloating, cramping, and urgent diarrhea. Nine out of ten people with IBS have SIBO as an underlying driver. (1:49)Q: Can probiotics make IBS symptoms worse?A: Yes. If you have SIBO, too much of certain bacteria, or Candida, adding probiotics can increase fermentation, bloating, and systemic reactions. Testing your microbiome before starting any protocol is essential. (4:09)Q: Why aren't elimination diets fixing my IBS?A: Restricting foods doesn't treat the root cause. Long-term elimination limits microbiome diversity, which creates more leaky gut, more food sensitivities, and a shorter list of safe foods over time. (4:35)Q: Does stress cause IBS?A: Stress doesn't cause IBS. It triggers an imbalance that already exists. Many people have stress. Not everyone has urgent diarrhea. The underlying gut dysfunction, not stress, is what needs to be treated. (6:34)Q: Why do I feel like a failure with IBS even when I'm doing everything right?A: Because you've been given effort as a solution to a problem that requires information. You can't discipline your way out of a bacterial imbalance. The fix is testing to find what's actually wrong, then treating it directly.
