I don’t know if I have IBS, but I’ve noticed that lately if I push it too much with spicy foods I’m being punished in the form of unusually unpleasant and urgent BMs later. This is particularly annoying as I really, really like spicy food. I started doing intense (for me) cardio every morning and without significant diet changes I’m already seeing the symptoms disappear. I sort of came to the same conclusion the article did from personal experience. I wish the study did more frequent samples so we could see how long it took for the changes to happen as I fully recognize that my own experience could be coincidental.
