Also be sure that you're not restricting sodium/salt too much, particularly if you have low blood pressure. I've always had bloating, but the worst was when I had low-salt everything *and* drank lots of cold water. Now, I'm sure to eat pickles and pretzels when it's warm weather and I feel a lot better.
Other observations:
1. Why a gallon of water? Try cutting back and seeing how you feel, particularly if you're not counting teas and soups as part of your water ration.
2. Yoga is very good, particularly wind-relieving and child poses. If you're too self-conscious to go to a gym, exercise at home. Or go for a walk in baggy clothes.
3. Ignoring your IBS is *not* the same as hypnotherapy. I would forget my IBS, but it would always come back and remind me no matter my diet. Now that I've done the hypno CDs, I haven't had that happen. I have had times where I felt borderline, but then I just did a few days of hypno sessions and was back to the regular, relaxed, not-so-bloated state that I'm glad to call my new normal.
