Oh geez, join the club! I think everyone falls off the wagon, whether it's one month or ten years after diagnosis. I've had IBS for decades, and I STILL fall off the wagon. It's just so easy to think, when you're feeling good, that you'll continue to feel that way no matter what. It's hard to imagine being in pain and suffering when you're healthy and happy, and that piece of pizza (or onion rings, or cheesecake...) is staring you in the face.
Give yourself a break, and don't worry about it. IBS is hard enough to deal with - you don't need to beat yourself up for being human on top of it. Just concentrate on getting back on track and feeling better. Have some hot peppermint tea and extra soluble fiber, and be nice to yourself.
And welcome to the board!
