Bile acid malabsorption, eh? I need to look into that. I don’t know much about malabsorption other than what I just found online, but it looks like there’s overlap between IBS and malabsorption. Definitely worth looking into.

I’m autistic and suffer from hyper-vigilance which can absolutely cause IBS and other stomach issues, but maybe there’s more here than I realized.

I have the same issue! I had to stop eating lactose, then gluten, and apples are the most recent. And I miss apples even more than I miss bread, which is saying a lot. I knew it was a fructose problem, but didn’t think about apples with lower levels of fructose in them. I might have to look into that.
