Welcome! I hear a lot of myself in your words. I have an 8 month old, and gave up dairy because it bothered her, too.
There's tons of information on this site, and as you have time to read it through, a lot more will make sense.
I would consider stopping the psyllium. It can make things even worse. A lot of people on this site have found that it causes bloating and gas. I would recommend Heather's Acacia fiber (on this website). It's much better.
As for your IBS getting worse postpartum, I'm not surprised. With all the changes your body is going through, as well as exhaustion (3!!! kids!) and breastfeeding, I sympathize. The best thing you can do right now is get on a reliable fiber supplement, make sure you have lots of soluble fiber, and keep taking your prenatal vitamins.
