IBS can become an issue after pregnancy unfortunately. I’m not sure if it’s a lifelong issue, I’d assume it is, but there might be some binders you could try?

there are some medications you might be able to take that could help “bind” things so you don’t have constant diarrhea. For instance. I have bile acid malabsorption and they tried to give me ox bile salts to help bind things up so I could eat and live again. Unfortunately they make me worse but I think it’s because I have a few other diagnoses that contribute
