Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | question about diet... and body

I'm IBS-A..

I was having major D issues right before I started the diet and got all excited that it seemed to be working... but I was having a lot of gas the first few days (started the diet Thurs Afternoon) Monday night I got some gas x to take since it was so bad and that helps the gas, but I have only had one tiny, constipated bowel movement since... when my C acts up I can go all week with just tiny little bits that hurt and are difficult to squeeze out... TMI I know... I am afraid I've swung that way.. any suggestions.. I saw something that said calcium can cause this but I hadn't noticed a correlation before and I'm back on calcium as of monday night as well- picked up some chewable caltrate when I got the gas x, but I only have taken one so far... yesterday.. since I also had a luna bar and my rice milk has calcium in it too... I never take calcium before bed, because it can cause upset tummy... caltrate seems ok otherwise... any suggestions folks? I know part of it is I'm not eating anywhere near as much fruits and vegies as I was earlier.
