Welcome to the boards!
I don't know if you've read this information yet, but there's plenty on the website here that should help you. We've all had success with the diet guidelines set up by Heather in her book, Eating for IBS. You can find LOTS of information about starting here. The idea behind the diet is that you center all your food choices around soluble fiber foods, which regulate your digestion system and "spastic" colon naturally.
You might also find supplements - such as peppermint (a fantastic anti-spasmodic!), probiotics, and soluble fiber supplements - to be a great help with managing your symptoms. You can find information on those starting here.
Finally, we're always around to answer specific questions that may come up as you read through all that, so ask away!
That should give you a starting point to feeling better... welcome again!
