khyricat, I just noticed your note on fruit juice. I have been studying for years. There is a wonderful doctor in Idaho who has written several books on IBS. He pretty much is in sync with this group. He has researched this for about 40 years. I can't get clear into it, but it truly fits and adds to info here. But the problem with juice is fructose. It's like "diabetes of the gut" as I understand it. It irritates the gut much like other things get you and/or other people.

I had a fabulous doctor in 1980-82 who taught me a lot. She says IF you drink juice dilute 6:1 not 3:1. I even take it further usually. I MAY be having some problems right now as I cannot eat anything I cannot see through, and I'm drinking some apple juice et al. I have diluted, but I'm going to dilute further. It's just that I'm so hungry. Fructose and corn syrup (along with sorbitol, mannitol, etc.) can just play havoc. I'd love to share some of this neat doctor's findings if anyone is interested.

One neat story was how a little boy was actually bleeding from his gut. He narrowed it down to his toothpaste. He got very little down his throat, but ANY was too much. And the stories are numerous and helpful. He worked with Native American Indians and narrowed down their gut problems (I'm part NAI, and I seem to have inherited their milk intolerance...this is VERY typical of Indians).

Try just flavoring your water with fruit juice and see if you can tolerate that. If not, you are very sensitive to fructose so read labels (which you probably do already).
