If you're doing "all the right things" for IBS but still struggling, it might be time to look beyond IBS itself. In this episode of The Gut Show, I talk with Dr Lee and Dr Singh about other conditions that can mimic or worsen IBS symptoms, such as food intolerances, malabsorption, SID and bile acid diarrhea.
