Post partum anxiety and stress can flare up your existing IBS condition as it is more of a functional disorder which is evident from the normal blood reports. You can try cutting out dairy products from your meals. If it is related to your post partum state, I’m worried it might last a while due to your hormonal imbalance, lack of sleep and stress. No need to panic and if at all your loose stools worsens please seek medical attention.
