Well, candida/yeast overgrowth can cause bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, all of which are IBS symptoms. I have read many experiences of people who went on an antifungal/yeast cleanse diet and mysteriously their IBS symptoms decreased or went away. Did they really have IBS after all? As current studies are starting to indicate, that probiotics are becoming a factor in helping IBS patients, then I'm thinking that for some people, there could be a yeast issue there somewhere. I know for me I have to eliminate the yeast feeding foods (grains, sugar, other yeast containing foods)from time to time to get my system back on track.
