i haven't tried any prescription meds (aside from my hycosamine) because i am IBS-A. you're not supposed to use Zelnorm if you get diarrhea...
which starchy foods allegedly cause gas??? i haven't heard that. i know i don't eat bread, so maybe that's why i'm not experiencing a problem...? i do eat all of the rest of the things on this diet, though--- well, anything i that doesn't have wheat! i eat rice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice.... um, what else? there's rice!  (i don't eat oatmeal, tho, 'cause that's always made me bloaty! that happens to some people with gluten "issues.")
you know, what you said about the IBS symptoms flaring up after you started to get some sleep... that makes some weird sense to me. i know sometimes my body does whatever it can to get me through a stressful time, then collapses once it's all over... wonder if that's what you were experiencing?
my belief is that you know your body better than anyone. if you don't feel the starches are working for you, than maybe it's not a good idea for your body. same goes with the psyllium. i've noticed that there are no 100% scenarios in life. there are always exceptions to the rule!
hopefully the acacia will help. grab some tea and try to ride it out! and add it sloooooowly at first. hopefully you'll noticed some insta-results! if not, though, hopefully you can get through a few rocky days and then notice an improvement....
hang in there! and keep me updated, will you? good luck!
(and maybe dial back the soy a while, see if that helps?)
