Newcomer to the board. Need Help!

After about 2 years of escalating problems after I eat, I finally decided to do some research. It started in college occasionally after I would eat somethng and smoke a cigarette. About 2 years ago I realized that after I ate mexican food I would have to rush to the bathroom. No problem, I thought..it is mexican food!

But in the past 5 mos it has gotten worse. I have found that anytime I eat out, I have urgency. I started takng a OTC medicine called Digestive Advantage, by Ganeden.

To be honest, my diet over the past years has probably not helped. I gained a ton of weight after I got married and my diet has been TERRIBLE. How quickly can I expect to see results from 1) Increasing water intake and decreasing carbonated pop 2) Following the diet laid out here 3) Exercising 4) taking my IBS medication.

Is this a long term thing or does it help immediately?
