No, not buying that bullshit.

Agreed. My wife has IBS because of a really bad case of food poisoning screwing her gut bacteria.

My childhood doctor over prescribed antibiotics. I believe that caused my IBS. I went to more doctors for years, tried all kinds of things. Those probiotic pills they sell, I think they're all dead. I have never been able to culture one. But when I got into fermenting stuff, it evaporated. Worthless fucking doctors caused the problem and couldn't fix it. Just needed to submerge veggies in a 4% brine for a couple weeks and eat that.
