Kate,
Have you tried taking soluble fiber supplements? I feel that I owe my sanity to my daily glasses of Citrucel (2 or 3). I know some commercials make it look like a disgusting gloppy drink that is for old people, but the orange flavor isn't half bad. It has made me feel so much better that I consider it liquid gold. You may never be able to eat pizza or everything you want without any problems, but in the long run, the soy substiutions are healthier. Think of what clean arteries you'll have by the time you're old like me, if you start when you're so young. Buy Heather's books if you can afford them (I remember being broke in college) or if not right now, you can click on the small pictures of the books at the top of this message board and find a lot of good information to help get you headed in the right direction. I know it can be depressing, but if you take the soluble fiber and work out a diet for yourself based on Heather's facts in the books, you will be able to go on that road trip without stopping every half hour.
It may seem like a pain to give up things you love, but consider the amount of time spent worrying about ibs attacks, etc. Making the changes is well worth it because it frees you from a cycle of worry and pain.
