I have had IBS for almost 13 years, with bowel movements occurring once every 2 weeks. After taking antibiotics for suspected bacterial prostatitis, my bowel movements changed to 1-3 times a week, with less pain and gas. Do you think the antibiotics caused these changes, and should I be concerned about this new regularity?

I've been experiencing a crawling sensation in my nose since August 2019, along with nasal drainage that upsets my stomach and bowel movements. I've seen multiple doctors, including ENTs and gastroenterologists, who have found no polyps or issues in my stomach. I've tried various medications like Zyrtec, Azelastine, Zicam, NeilMed, and Vicks VapoRub, but nothing has helped. I've also had fungal infections in the past, and my current doctors won't consider Ketoconazole. I'm HIV+, diabetic, and have high cholesterol. What can I do to get relief?
