Another A here. I know all about how it goes. My pendulum might swing a little differently, but swing it still does.
I was always pretty much a D-predominant, and I still am. I have bad D attacks, I take imodium. Most of the time, the imodium then makes me C. I'm better now than I used to be - pre-IBS-diet, my C spells would go for a week or longer, but now it's usually just a couple days. Then it's right back to D, just as bad as before.
And yes, I definitely had D days that had me wishing for the end... but gods, for the sheer pain factor, still, nothing beats my C spells. Ack.
At least your body's cycles are somewhat predictable - I know, small comfort. Mine isn't, though, and it's pretty darn annoying. I was actually "stable" for a couple months, after almost of a year of steady, continuous improvement. Now I'm right back to the C/D cycles, and I'm literally not doing anything different... so like you, I can't point to a single food, either, nor can I point to other life circumstances (stress, etc) that might be the culprit.
I just keep reminding myself that it could be worse. Much, MUCH worse.
