I really need some advice. I am so frustrated and confused. After being diagnosed with IBS a month ago I did my homework, and studied this site and others about what I should do. I have done all the right things, and I've taken what has been suggested in the way of supplements but my diarrhea is still driving me crazy. I don't know what else to do.
I basically eat the soluble fibers and take peppermint oil caps before meals, take calcium with each meal, and take Metamucil two or three times a day, but still diarrhea. The strange thing is that these things worked initially, but after a couple of weeks everything went crazy. What am I doing wrong?
I generally eat oatmeal and toast for breakfast. The bread is low in fructose and the margarine is soy margarine. I also will drink a glass of soy milk. It seems like I am getting started with soluble fiber so why am I getting the morning diarrhea. For lunch I usually have a grilled chicken sandwich and often have a BM after that. Usually I am ok for the rest of the day, and I might have a turkey sandwich for dinner. I also snack on oatmeal cookies that are low in fat and do not have fructose.
I have eliminated red meat, dairy products, egg yolks, fried foods, high fat foods, anything with caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, artificial fats, msg, and coffee (including decaf), and anything with high fructose corn syrup. It seems like I have done all that is suggested. Why is it still such a problem? Help!!!!!!
