These same changes would help other health issues.
This was observational, but the habits did have some confounders removed, meaning it could be more likely some, or all, did directly influence IBS.
I have enjoyed daily intake of kefir for decades. Some might call it liquid yogurt. Blueberry is a favorite. Besides all the regular benefits, I was pleasantly surprised to learn during the Plandemic that kefir has antiviral properties. I was able to reject the vaxxine, and will keep the kefir in the refrigerator.
I suffered from IBS-C for over 5 years years. I was fit, exercised daily, and ate healthy.
It became so bad, I had only about 10 foods I could tolerate - if is ate anything else, my digestive system would shut down for a week as if I had surgery. It was miserable and I lost too much weight.
I don’t know what happened but after a minor bout of Covid and week of ivermectin in 2022, I recovered. I can eat almost anything now.

"...a high level of vigorous physical activity every week..."
