I think my doctor lied to me!

Am (25M) went to visit a doctor after having minor symptoms compared to the disasters people with ibs go through. For instance, i didn't have abdominal pain or diarrhea. My symptoms were basically:

  1. stomach bloating

  2. Continuous burping

  3. These symptoms would be present almost 24/7 accompanied by a brain fog which would come with all this bloating.

Once i visited the doctor he told me i have an IBS and then started teaching myself about this whole Fodmap thing. After weeks of trying low fodmap diet i got tired of having to watch every small and big bite that goes into my mouth.

One day, i got frustrated to the point i went out and ordered a big glass of mango juice, huge sandwich full of meat-spices and onions, some ice cream and a big glass of random fizzy drink i found. Once i jogged all of this and woke up the next day i barely felt any pain or the need to visit the toilet!! Perhaps a bit more gasses running inside my stomach

So I am figuring this isn't IBS anymore....

Lemme know what you guys think 🤔🤔
