I am new to this board (posted a couple of times so far) and have been closely following the IBS diet/taking Heather's fiber supplement and peppermint/fennel/ginger. Things were going really well--been at it about a month--and my IBS had really calmed down. Then, all of a sudden, on Saturday I got an attack (I have IBS w/ consitpation) and have been in constant pain since. I ingested a small cup of decaf coffee but THAT IS ALL. The magnitude of this attack doesn't seem to fit that small amount. What did I do wrong? What should I do now. I've started (just today) clear liquids to try to get some stability, but still feel that annoying, uncomfortable feeling like I need to go to the bathroom all the time (but, of course, nothing or very little happens). Suggestions? Help!

A small amount of coffee, decaf or regular, would be enough to cause me to have a major IBS attack. Have you tried going back to Break The Cycle? I would follow that for a couple of days and see how you feel. Hopefully you will feel better and you can start adding safe foods back into your diet. I would definitely stay away from coffee.
