You awesome people were so responsive to the picture of Tommy that I posted yesterday so I was hoping some of you might be able to chime in with your IBS experiences because he has it and none of my cats have before. I got Tommy a few months ago. He had been surrendered after having crystals and was eating prescription food for that. He had diarrhea however and tested negative for parasites. It sounded like the vet only even bothered testing for parasites because he had been in a shelter, I guess it isn't normally seen in this area with normal housecats. Anyways there was some intermittent improvement with an antibiotic so the vet changed him to a food that is safe for crystals but designed for ibs. He was fine within 2 days of starting this food but the last 2 days I could hear his tummy gurgling and now he has diarrhea again. He hasn't eaten anything off diet except for hay, which I think he got into because his tummy already wasn't feeling well. FWIW I'm calling the vet when they open to leave a message and get his Dr's thoughts, but wanted to also see if anyone else has had this experience. Is it common with cats who need prescription food for digestive issues to improve then relapse? Will this probably be something he just goes through every once in a while? I do know that my sister's cats eat a different food (same brand but different prescription formula) for diarrhea and she finds some every once in a while and then they seem fine again.

Don’t worry everyone, he’s just flopping. They will never stop stealing food from each other.
There's a new one suddenly popping up in my feed but obviously the reports are being "resolved" by the mods of that community. They suggested to me that I block their community but I will not because that is how you get a cesspit of an instance. How do we report disinformation communities straight to the admins?
Edit: the admins did remove the community in question so I'm going to take that as the official stance on disinformation communities and also assume that any type of community (right wing, left wing, or other) that are intentionally spreading disinformation will be removed. That makes me feel much better about the situation since this type of thing is pretty much guaranteed to pop up again.
