You NEED to start taking a soluble fibre supplement and you'll NEED to spend a few days on the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" diet - so JUST plain soluble fibre foods for a while to try and break the cycle. You also need to snack regularly throughout the day, especially if you don't have lunch.

Immodium can be incredibly helpful in stabilising and for attacks. Taking it daily as a preventative is a great idea - I took one tablet every day for months, but now rarely need it.

Has your doctor tried you on any other meds? Unfortunately, with IBS, it's a case of trial and error to find out what works best for you. Were you diagnosed properly - did you have a colonoscopy done?

Good luck!
