As someone who tangentially studies IBS, have you tried to follow a low-FODMAP diet? It doesn’t remove everything, but makes it easier and is currently the best approach according to studies.
Yeah, normally IBS folks do not have issue with every single group of FODMAPs, it’s just a general recommendation to lower them all, then see what can be added without issues.
Good to know xylitol helps! And quite interesting, too.
As per gluten, it’s probably not gluten, yeah, but fructans (oligosaccharides, you’re right on that), mainly inulin - they can trigger IBS as well.
Sourdough breads should probably feel somewhat better then, as fructans are partially degraded through a long fermentation.
