Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Am I doing something wrong?? Please help!

I first looked at Heathers site about 2 1/2 weeks ago after a really bad D attack. I decided that I would try out her diet. For the next couple days I tried to "break the cycle" by eating skinless potatoes, plain noodles, and plain French bread. I drank lots of water (at least 8 bottles a day) and I starting taking Metamucil caplets( 2 in the morning, 2 at night). During those days I was having an IBS attack almost everyday. It would go from C to D very quickly. After a couple days on the "break the cycle" I started adding in veggies and fruit. I then started taking an extra Metamucil before lunch. But my symptoms kept coming. I finally decided to order the acacia and stop using the Metamucil. That was about 4 or 5 days ago. I'm still following the diet but I am still getting symptoms almost every other day. For example today I ate a plain bagel with a bit of pb, water, and a small glass of oj, I then had a chicken sub on white bread with some veggies and water for lunch, and for dinner I had rice crispys with soy milk, a slice of French bread with soy margarine and water. Almost an hour after dinner I had an IBS D attack. Before when I wasn't on this diet the attacks were happening much less. I don't know if there is something I'm doing wrong to make my IBS worse? I cant take anymore days off school (I'm in a summer course at college)Please help.
