Low carb, low fat for IBS

Last night in the UNC chat, Dr. Drossman said the best diet for IBS patients is one that is low fat (which we already do) and low carb. He said he did a study where patients ate no more than 30 grams of carbohydrates a day and there was improvement in their symptoms. He also said, when asked if there is benefit to avoiding dairy, that he doesn't believe in any 'undue' dietary restrictions. I take that to mean he doesn't have any evidence that dairy negatively impacts IBS.

Does anyone adhere to a low carb diet? If so, I wonder if you would share your general daily meal plan because I feel at a loss - I am dropping weight already and I feel that if I cut way down on carbs that I will lose more weight because I simply won't be consuming enough calories. But I also want to find the best diet to manage my IBS symptoms. Thanks!
