Symptoms : Symptoms from food intolerance should improve with eliminating that food type, and recur with retrying. Often times there is an overlap with food intolerance and ibs.

Probiotics: Try probiotics and especially probiotic foods. Try coconut oil. Cook with it and add it to meals. Consider gluten and dairy free diet.
