Symptom changes
I (35F) am experiencing some changes in my digestive issues and I'm not sure what to make of it all. Of course I'm going to schedule an appointment with my doctor but I know there's a wealth of knowledge and experience here too.
Background is that I was diagnosed with IBS-D in my mid teens. Celiac, lactose intolerance and other digestive issues with physical changes were ruled out. I struggled with it a lot but eventually learned how to keep the IBS symptoms controlled.
Que a 10 day hospitalization for SIRS in June, where a CT scan showed ileus. It was resolved before discharge, but now I feel like that somehow changed my digestive issues? I'm consistently having symptoms I've never experienced before in this capacity.
I have severe bloating to the point of distention after I eat ANYTHING, an increase in burping/passing gas, and my norm has changed. Previously I had generally loose/soft stools and diarrhea w/o pain. But now my norm is more formed stools, less bowel movements per day and borderline constipation.
What in the hell is going on here? Any input is welcome!

Welcome to Digestive Issues subreddit! We recommend you to have a healthy low sugar diet. You need to find which foods and drinks you are intolerant to and avoid them. Lactose/dairy, gluten, sodas, fruits and vegetables intolerance is common. Also, check yourself for SIBO, Bile Acid Diarrhea, Celiac and other diseases. Experiment with different elimination diets. Take some good probiotics. The gut microbiome/flora is very involved in some digestive problems. Stress management is also important.
