Welcome to the boards! Congratulations on the birth of your baby! As for getting started on the IBS diet, the information on this website is very ample. Read through the eating for IBS guidelines for what foods to eat and what foods NOT to eat. A fiber supplement is an excellent idea. Acacia is very widely used here and with few problems. Other brand names include citrucel, equalactin, benefiber. Make sure you start on a small dose and work your way up, otherwise, you're going to see more bloating and pain.
For the nausea, try Ginger tea. Slice a piece of gingerroot the size of a quarter and steep it in a mug of boiling water.
For bloating try fennel tea. Steep a teaspoon of fennel seeds in a mug of boiling water. You can even combine it with the ginger if you like.
Peppermint tea is the king of all IBS teas as far as I'm concerned. It eases the pain, and can really help stop attacks.
Good luck and if you have more questions, hit the search button for previous posted topics.
