Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | So, I'm having some doubts...

Okay, I've been pretty much sticking strictly to this diet the naturopath has me on. Haven't had any D but the pain! OMG. I think it's worse. I cheated a tiny bit last night. Had the most awful day with the girls. They stereo screamed from 7am until 8pm and to make matters worse Jacinta has let me have zero sleep for days. So, instead of sitting down at the end of the day with a good stiff shot of vodka, I sat down with a glass of cordial. I sat there looking at it and realising how sad my life has become. No grog or drugs for me! I'm in heaven LOOKING at a glass of cordial for goodness sake! ( I had 4 sips btw then put it in the fridge).
Anyway, waffling, back to my doubts. If you remember it was only a month ago I was diagnosed with malnutrician (sp?). Since I've cut pretty much everything out again I feel depressed and just generally unwell. On top of that I've done HEAPS of reading and it all says that while adults can be lactose intolerant that milk isn't a problem for most so long as you stick with lactose free milk. And ALL of it said that white refined sugar is a problem for nobody (unless you're diabetic of course) and doesn't cause problems. So I get that I need to cut down on sugar and all but how can I possibly have an intolerance to sugar for the rest of my life when all the medical books say that there is no such thing?
So should I ask my doctor about all this or just figure this naturopath knows what she's doing and keep going in hope that it will start to help?
