im taking no medications because the ones i was taking.... (pills that i slip under my tongue that tasted like the nastiest peppermint you ever tasted) never helped, and i got put on strong doses of those.... and never helped..... since then, my gastro doctor told me just to cut out everything on a list and it should help, i did cut them out and felt really good for for 3 months up until now..... i dont know what to do, i even cut foods out that are on heathers list along with the list the doctor gave me..... i dont know what to do.......

Did you have ALL the tests? Stool sample, blood test, colonoscopy...? Your doctor sounds useless. There are loads of meds to help with IBS and everyone reacts differently to them, so most people have to try lots of different meds to find out what works for them.
Are you taking a soluble fibre supplement? What was your problem with Immodium?

i had everything.... like i said, the diet did work wonders for 3 months..... my doc also says (dont know if its true) that she has IBS..... if she did, she wouldnt be so mean to me is what i think..... i have been to her 2 times and she wont give me any meds, she said thats a last resort...... im taking citrucel 2 times a day..... my immodium problem was it would stop me up for 2-3 days and on the last day it stopped working, i would be so bad that i couldnt sit or stand up and would be in the restroom for a long time and it wouldnt be worth all the pain for just three days of no pain..... i have never taking immodium ever since.....

I'd try a different SFS when you've got time. Acacia is a lot gentler.
What dose of Immodium did you take that time?

Well, all I can think of that doesn't require going to the doctor, etc is...
ONLY eat soluble fibre foods - including when you are away.
Drink Peppermint and Chamomile insanely and take tea bags on holiday with you and brew some at every possible opportunity.
Take a painkiller with codeine in it - it helps with the spasms.
Good luck!
