Hey Kelly,
I know. Every time I read one of your posts, I think, gosh, she sounds a lot like me. I think I whine more than you do, though. LOL I don't seem to have the problems with pain that you're having right now.
Here's where I get all embarassed, but yes, at this point I'm kind of assuming I have IBS. I haven't been diagnosed yet. All my life, any doctor I've seen has told me that it's all in my head, so I'm hoping this next try will be different. I decided to try the diet because I had actually done it once before, years ago, and it worked WONDERS. Back then, I had just been diagnosed with gallstones, and my GI doc urged me not to have surgery, because I was very obese. He recommended a low-fat diet... I did it, the weight came off, the gallbladder settled down, and the D/C/nausea problems virtually went away. When I started having symptoms again, I figured it couldn't hurt to try eating like this again... and it *can't* hurt, it just doesn't seem to be helping as quickly as I think it should. 
Now that you know my life story... heh.
I forced myself to eat today, and other than feeling incredibly full, I feel better than I have in at least a week. It's obvious that I can't wait for myself to "feel like eating", I just have to make myself eat. I'm not having more pain when I do eat, I just start to get afraid of food and avoid it as much as possible. But I will try some Aleve for the cramping next time, I think.
Thanks, and I hope you're feeling better soon too.
