I don't have any ideas on what could be giving you the abdominal pains, and I have also missed work because of this. I'm SO sorry that you have to go through this. I'm new to this board, and have found that the fennel tea suggestion (strong cup, covered and steeped for 10-15 minutes) has worked the best at relieving gas pressure for me.
I've also lost weight on this diet. Five "vanity" pounds to be exact, which I had been trying to get off me for three months. I think it's because I'm eating less (I used to subscribe to the theory that if you put more in one end, it just HAS to come out the other.. I'm IBS-C) but more frequently. I'm making consciously healthier (i.e., IBS-safer) foods choices.
I also also keep track of EVERYTHING that I eat on www.fitday.com. It's a free Web site that lets you track foods, calories, nutrients, etc. There's also a journal on the site that I use to keep track of how I'm feeling that day. That way I can look back and try and discover a pattern of foods or a certain food that triggers an attack.
If you haven't tried fennel tea, go out and get some as soon as you can.
HTH!!
