Have you been checked out for Crohns or any other IBD or Colitis? You should have had a stool sample checked, and had a colonoscopy. If the diets been helping, then it can't be Celiac as there's loads of wheat in the usual IBS diet.

I don't always get relief from a BM. I think it's a bit confusing that this is held up as a symptom - I sometimes have problems before BMs because I'm GOING to have a BM, so obviously these get better afterwards, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes I'll feel worse!

Are you taking a soluble fibre supplement? If not, get yourself one. These REALLY help. Also, as you're IBS-c, are you being careful to incorporate enough INsoluble fibre in your diet? Some people seem to forget this as Heather is IBS-d.

Hope this helps.
