Does anyone have these symptoms along with IBS?

I have IBS and a lot of gastro symptoms and all the stuff you mentioned above. I have gotten a lot of relief from eating probiotic FOODS every day (I only take the probiotic capsules if on vacation). My favorite probiotic food is Keifer. Goat milk Keifer is the best as cows milk causes some symptoms, but the goat milk is more expensive. Have you heard of GAPS syndrome or the GAPS diet? It has helped me a lot and I just started on it this year. You basically rebuild your Gastrointestional system. It takes 2 years at least. No grains at all, not just avoiding wheat, all cooked food, (avoiding raw or uncooked foods-harder to digest) eating good wholesome meats (except pork) for maximum protein and good fat, no white sugar or processed foods. Maybe this will help. I'm getting better some already. Every one in a while I "clean out my system" using my own cooked chicken broth, honey, and water only---for a few days. It is really a hassle to have to struggle so hard to feel only half decent. People all around me are eating potato chips, cookies, hamburgers, cakes, you name it and have no problems.

Thank you, Madeline, for such a nice, thoughtful reply. It came now just when I needed it... Just got done having a good cry because sometimes I just feel horrible and have NO IDEA what it is... but I think I need to seriously consider the diet you are talking about.
Sometimes I just feel horrible but can't pin down specific symptoms... and 'just rotten' is not something a dr wants to hear (or can help with...)
Thank you for your encouragement. It is something I really need right now. I go to the dr only for emergency situations...usually... and the thought of being through a dozen miserably invasive tests makes me shudder. Well, enough already.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you.

I used to eat gluten and dairy food. When my husband left, I could no longer eat gluten free. He took 3/4of a million. I would like to know more about your diet. Have heard of GAPS. If you do not mind, I would likeinformnation
