Hi Lana! Sounds like the diet is going well for you, I always try to tell myself to just do the best I can. I don't know about the pain. Sometimes I get unexplained pain and it so frustrating not to know why I get it. I think sometimes it's a detox thing. Or trapped gas. Who knows? Are you cooking your veggies well? I also try to remember than even "normal" people without IBS sometimes get stomach pains or D or are sometimes C. About your doctor, it sounds like he is willing to let you try and find out what works for you. I have found that doctors may not know everything, but it's the ones that are so ridgid they won't consider thinking "outside the box" are the one's you have to worry about. Anyway, please know I'm hoping you find your answers soon!
