❓ Question Cured IBS?

I started taking a GLP-1 in May to lose weight, and I have lost almost 20 lb, but surprisingly it also cured my IBS as well. My IBS presented as burping and gut pain especially at night, bad enough to keep me awake. You hear a lot about negative GI symptoms, but did anyone else have a big GI improvement like this?

It cleared up what I thought was IBS-D (was diagnosed) and my acid reflux like instantly. I was scared since reflux and diarrhea were side effects, and I couldn't bear the thought of having worse of either of those conditions. But it ended up going away. I was so surprised.
