First, I would suggest seeing your doctor and having some blood work done. It could be that this is not related to IBS at all.

Second, I know many people with IBS cut down on meat, dairy, and eggs. As a vegetarian of several years, I know that if you cut out these foods you could run short of B vitamins. A standard multivitamin really doesn't have enough B for vegetarians, so you might try taking a B-complex supplement. I can really tell a difference in my energy level if I don't take mine for several days.

Third, are you depressed? Your job situation sounds stressful. I know a major symptom of depression is feeling tired. My sister went through a phase where she was almost too tired to move and her energy level improved drastically once she was put on an antidepressant. She hadn't really felt "sad" before, just stressed and tired and "not caring."

Hope this helps!
