What am I doing wrong?? - HelpForIBS.com Message Boards

I've had IBS for over 10 years. I used to be ok and be able to eat more than I can now but my body has changed. I just had a baby 4mos ago and now it's changed again. I can't tolerate any milk products much less just about any foods. I received Heather's bood, cookbook as well as the teas, tummy fiber and peppermint pills about 3 weeks ago. I was gungho about this new way of life and found that the book explains a lot about me and what I'm/I've been through. Throughout my life I've become more of a home body due to my issues. It's embarrassing to go out and not be able to eat anything or start to have anxiety an need to come home. My anxiety is from post tramatic stress but is aggrevated by my stomach problems also. I suffer from both types of IBS it's a constant change from day to day. With such a sensitive stomach I can't eat half of what's in the cookbook and it's getting harder and harder to figure out what doesn't bother me. I need protein and rice and pasta just don't cut it. I add chicken or shrimp or something like that but it's getting old. Can anyone tell me what I'm going wrong? I have cramping and pains in my stomach daily and feel the urge to run to the bathroom but most of the time nothing happens. I have a followup next week with my gastro doctor but I'm not sure there's anything else he can do for me. I just want my old body back where I could eat sour cream, ice cream and cheese (sorry guys alternative cheese products just don't work they are aweful!). Just thought I'd get an outside opinion on something I may be missing.
