Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I am so sick of this! (LONG VENT)

*sigh* Pardon me while I whine and vent. (If only I could have a little cheese with my whine.) I am so tired of this. Just when I am getting the hang of this, I have an attack, because, nope, I shouldn't have eaten that after all. This morning I tried mandarin oranges again after I had my SFS and some rice crispies with soy milk. I tried them because things were good a few days in a row, and because I had canned peaches the yesterday without ill effect.

All was well, or so I thought. I mean, I didn't get painful gas right away like the last time I had mandarin oranges. Nope, the gas waited until after lunch to kick in, and it kept going. Finally, wham-o, in the middle of a meeting after work. MUST FIND BATHROOM NOW!! So I raced out of the meeting, did what I had to do and then went back to get my stuff and left the meeting early. Just in case I wasn't okay to make it the 10 minute drive home, I took a Levsin. I made it, but I'm staying home instead of going over to a friend's like I was supposed to.

I'm just so tired of this. I could almost cry. How do you get the balance of IF right?

That's what seems to be messing me up. HELP!
