What Causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Hi I have suffered from digestive disorders for many years...I have irritable bowl, gluten/wheat intolerance, lactose intolerance, nightshade family intolerance. I have a vegan and gluten free diet. I also struggle with other foods such as chickpeas, beetroot, buckwheat.... none of this makes sense,,, some days I m fine, others terrible. I have been studying this problem in great depth and have always felt it stems back to having a perforated appendix and peritonitis when I was 15yrs old (I m now 52) Is it possible that I have suffered all these years with a paralytic Ileus? If so is it possible to fix this after such a long time?
