Welcome, GEA! Know that you are not alone. Chances are, someone else has been there no matter what the problem. I agree - lay off the peppermint tea for a few days. It can be upsetting to some people. Try the ginger, also fennel and chamomile help others. There's lots of talk about fennel tea - just hit the search button. Fennel is great for bloating and gas.
I know EXACTLY how you feel when you say it's easier to stay hungry than it is to try to eat. I was exactly like that when I was first diagnosed. Unfortunately, I dropped 20 lbs that I couldn't afford to lose. Stick with Heather's diet and be sure to ask any questions at all that you may have. Also, the search button is great for topics already discussed. You can find helpful hints there. At the beginning of this board, there is FAQ and Dietary Guidelines that you can highlight. There is tons of helpful information - especially "How to break the cycle of attacks" Also, click on the First Year IBS icon at the top (blue and white) and it has tons of ideas on how to start to get stabilized. Take care, and take heart. You WILL get better. Take it a day at a time, a bite at a time if you must. It does not help to be upset when you are eating. Try to relax and chew thoroughly. If you are upset while eating - I find my digestion goes right out the window. My tummy can't digest when I'm all tense. Relax and take care.
