Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Just don't get it, another flare-up

Last week-end, it took me three days to BTC. I gain stability all week long. Then it hit me again on friday night. Went on BTC diet. Was ok saturday, did not go. Again this sunday morning, d-attack after breakfast. The stool is very different from last week, more watery. I thought I found the trigger in the cheese. But I have been on the BTC diet for the last 48 hours, so I just don't get it. It seems I have enter a very instable period...and its hard to gain back my balance. Last week I had to go on a very strict version of the BTC diet for 48 hours with an Immodium to regain some stability.

I am trying not to panic. But I'm beginning to wonder if there is more to this than simple IBS, I had all the tests a year and a half ago and was diagnosed with IBS. I also read in the newspaper that they closed a university 50 miles from here because there was an epidemic of virulent gastro-intestinal virus last week. But the symtoms seemed much more virulent than what I have.

I have been using Benefiber with succes for the last year. But I am thinking to switch to Acacia. I also have been thinking about hypno-therapy. Anyway, I'm looking for solutions... Got any suggestions?
