Digestive enzymes made my symptoms worse. They frequently contain ground up plant material very high in IF.

There isn't any research evidence to support the notion that IBS suffers have insufficient enzymes to break food. AND the small intestine does not contain bacteria capable of fermenting food unless there is some structural defect or disease. However, Lactose intolerance is one of the few digestive problems for which the digestive enzyme - lactase - does work well
