If I get a bad IBS attack, I can have severe pain for several days combined with D and then lingering pain for up to two weeks. I have to go onto a very boring, plain diet for several weeks until I recover.

Have you tried eating some plain steamed white rice as well as potatoes? I would recommend buying organic white rice if you can. Don't use one of the par-boiled conventional rice varieties like Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's, but buy the type you have to make from scratch.

If what you have is IBS, then one of the worst things you can do is to not eat enough and to not eat often. Small meals often is the motto!

When my IBS gets bad, I live on chicken soup made with chicken breast, water, parsley, potatoes, carrots and rice. It's sure a miserable diet, but it's soothing to my tummy!

I hope you get to see a gastro specialist soon.
