Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Weight Gain & IBS...FRUSTRATED

Last year about September 2004, I lost 20lbs and worked out 4xs per week. I did it the healthy way: excercise, fruits, grains, vegetables, and poultry for my diet. However, come December 2004 (New Years Eve) suddenly I was weighing 170lbs. Now I weigh 180. Of course, due to being discouraged I stopped working out and tossed my diet to the wind. I trully hate being this size and want to diet but the only diet I know to do AND that's EFFECTIVE contains a LOT of insoluble fiber. Does anyone have an idea of about what I should do as a weightloss recommednation? My doctor (gastro man) diagnosed me with IBS 4 months ago. At first I was in denial but after being referred to Heather's website by my Dr.'s office I realized there was some truth to his diagnosis. I even had him do a colonoscopy. My main issue is gas AND bloating. I can barely eat a meal without my stomach looking like I'm at least 3-4months preganant. And, NO ZELORM DID NOT HELP. Please help me if you can!!! My birthday is in February and I really do want to accomplish by 30lb goal by that time.
