Why am I so Bloated?

I feel like a huge pinata! I have been following the diet and using Benefiber and teas. I've only been drinking cranberry juice (one glass a day) and almost 64 ounces of water. I have been eating very well (I'm really proud of myself). But, I still feel very bloated and gassy. I also noticed that it is harder to have a bowel movement (they are very hard now-instead of soft). I think I am doing something wrong. Too much fiber?

But, I am PMS'ing. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I just feel like I weigh a ton. My clothes look horrible on me and my face looks...well it looks like I'm retaining water...everywhere.

Also, do you always have a sharp terrible pain when you have IBS? I have had slight cramps-but nothing terrible. Not like some of the stories I have heard on this board.

Someone please help me!
