Sounds super interesting. Can you provide a link or a quick list of the things that you eat for your diet. I’m currently having great difficulty sleeping due to

  Sure. Can't give you an exact list, but start with https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq and then take a look at dietdoctor.com who have a 2 week (I think) intro to keto which gives you some decent variation with keto food (and worked really well for a friend of mine). I use MyFitnessPal to track what I eat and keep below 20g of net carbs every day (usually coming in around 10-15). Good luck with it - IBS is absolutely miserable.

  Do you drink? I gave up drinking for a few years for weight reasons, and my IBS fixed itself, and didn't come back when I started drinking again.

    Beer certainly exacerbated my symptoms. Alcohol has become a much-less-often thing for me (mostly because you can't really have 'a quick pint'). I've benefitted most mentally here though, I think? You don't realise how often you have that post drinking booze-blues (even in the most minor way) until you don't have it very often. Coincidentally, cleaner alcohol (vodka) seems to minimise the mental and physical hangovers far more than drinking beer.

    I pretty much don't. Although I like to taste a glass of different types of beer when I go to a new region (here in Europe). I have noticed that it does trigger the IBS symptoms roughly 40% of the time. Thanks for the comment. I think I'll give up on the tasting because like the parent mentioned IBS is miserable.
