So when you do that for 10 years, you're basically nuking your gut biome. For me what I've come to realize now that I no longer have any symptoms was that having a messed up gut biome from antibiotics, combined with not enough fiber, was what pushed me into diagnosable IBS territory. Eventually I started taking daily probiotics, for a couple of years, and mixing in some things that were fermented (like kambucha). And I had sinus surgery, so eventually stopped needing antibiotics as often. Eventually I got to a point where I was super regular, no longer having any IBS symptoms, and didn't need to take probiotics anymore to maintain it. I still occasionally augment with fiber, but - I think for me it was a gut biome problem that I was able to fix over a long period of time. Good luck!

We're definitely in the minority, but it's nice to know we're not alone.You are not the only person in the world - I didn't enjoy it either!

Abiotic Factor is the most fun I've had playing a survival/crafting game in a long time. It's early access on Steam, semi-retro graphics, and the vibe is sort of like if Half-Life 1 was a survival crafting game. Was super easy to get a dedicated server up and running to play with a couple of friends. We were super bummed when we got to the current end of the content and can't wait for more updates.
