Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Please help,nothing is working and sick all the time

I have been on Heathers diet since Feb, I never never cheat. I take 12 grams of Citrucel a day and Librax before meals. I take Nexium at night to prevent heartburn and gastro reflux from the FS. I take synthroid,allegra d and flonase for thyroid and sinus trouble.I take lomotil and prometh when I have my attacks. In the last 40 days 21 have been sick. On Thursday night I had a bad attack at night and every night since. I go on the safe diet when I have a flare up. I know this attack started because I did not get sleep and over did the keep the company happy thing, clean house, cooking, etc. If I do not get enough sleep I have a attack and always always during my period but I eat so SAFE. My attacks on so painful,gas, bloating, d and so much pain. I have attacks in the day and at night but one or the other and they usually last about five days and then I need a few days to recover because my body is so worn out. My gasro tried nortriplyn but that gave me bad cramps and gas. Could it be the other meds causing this? I have had all the test done. My gasto says I am the worst case he has ever seen. I wish I could just not wake up some days and the pity party I have with myself I hate because I have such a loving caring husband who supports me through these bad times. I am 46 and when I am sick I can not care for my grandchild and my daughter can not go to work and the guilt kills me because she is a single Mom and really needs the income. Any ideas, anybody? I do not care if I can never have the trigger foods again, I only want to be normal and get up and go out and have a life. Thanks to anyone with info. Lisa
