Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Pain and despair, can anyone give any advice

I have been doing Heather's diet for a year and a half now, and I have kept a journal, on the advice of my GI Doc. REcently I have had more than normal attacks and I decided to go through my journal and the longest I have ever gone without an attack is a month.....I dont' understand why, I can't go longer. I am a faithful eater, I try to do all the right things, but recently the attacks have become worse and I can't get into my GI guy until August, the most recent attacks last hours with unGodly spasm and cramping, followed by my usual D about 6-8 times over a period of like 5 or 6 hours, but recently I'm having lower pains like in my ovaries and when I eat ANYTHING, immediately my stomach blows up like I'm 9 months pregnant and I feel so full and bloated and nothing takes it away, until I had my IBS attacks. Any ideas, help, suggestions. I'm on Librax, I use mint tea, take my fiber and eat the good fiber and when this happens I eat lighter, pretzels, sour dough bread, soluble fiber. Anyone ever had symptoms like this? And my attacks are always at night. Any help on here or private would be greatly appreciated.
