Why do some people dramatically improve with a treatment that does absolutely nothing for someone else with the exact same IBS diagnosis? A new 2026 study may help answer that question. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down groundbreaking research that individualized IBS treatment based on microbiome findings rather than treating everyone with the same symptom-based approach. The results challenge one of the biggest assumptions in digestive health: that people with the same diagnosis need the same solutions.
