Does anyone here have any experience in lifting with IBS? I used to lift but got out of it about a year ago and in the meantime I developed moderately bad IBS. It basically prevents me from drinking milk at all (sorry mr rippedtoe) as well as some other stuff that I'm trying to figure out. Have any other /fit/izens with IBS managed to make it? What are your diets like?

Yes, I have a horrendous case of it and a lot of stuf I have to do to manage it. But every case is different so that won't help you.
The wisdom I can give you is that yours is going to be unlike anyone else's, and what works for you may not work for anyone else and vice versa. Stay safe but keep an open mind and trust that if you're putting in legitimate effort its going to pay off eventually, even if it pays off differently.
Good luck.
I get IBS when I don't workout and lose gains. I quit lifting for 2 years and developed it. I became overweight and stopped exercising. I believe my IBS is accompanied with anxiety. Exercising balances my body out so I started again last week.

'IBS' is a catch-all term that doctors use for when your digestion is fucked up, but they have no idea why (and can't be bothered to figure it out or aren't good enough at what they do to figure it out). Even gastroenterologists usually can't be bothered.
Try eliminating foods from your diet that aren't 'organically' grown, especially WHEAT. The reason why isn't that 'organic' is anything magical or shit like that, it *is* because non-organic foods (especially WHEAT) are literally drenched in Roundup (herbicide, contains GLYPHOSATE, which is toxic as fuck), there's residue of it that persists even after processing and baking, and it will fuck you up especially if you're sensitive to it. BTW they also do this with corn, oats, beans, and I hear sugar cane, too. It's done just before harvest because somehow it increases the net yield. Try that for a month and see if things improve.
