Hello - I was wondering if i could please get some advice - I have been trying to book an appointment with a Gastrologist for advice about my IBS and hopefully some kind of diagnosis of what could be causeing it, but i cannot get an appointment until late next month and i honastly dont think i can wait that long!! I have recently started the diet recommended by heather, eating lots of soluble fiber like sour dough breads and pasta and a bit of rice (though rice ussually makes me feel bloated), removeing all dairy and replaceing it with soy milk products, and avoiding (at the moment) all fats until my IBS has stabilised. I am also takeing a fiber product twice a day and i have just removed coffee from my diet! But my IBS symtoms of gas, painfull cramps and bloating have gotten alot worse! I have started eating alot of sugar (Jam, Sugar in herbal teas and FF/non dairy but very sugary sweets, cordial in water...) and i was wondering if this may be what the cause of the diet going very wrong may be ?
Yesterday i had some toast and strawberry jam with some Fluff marshmallow spread (i bought this thinking it would be a safe food as it is FF and Dairy free, apart from egg white...) and 2 hot chocolates with lots of sugar, a piece of bread with the same spreads again about 4 hours later, and another hot chocolate and than i had a few FF and Non dairy but very sugary lollies, followed by dinner of a Tofu creamy pasta with mushroom, pumpkin and herbs.
The pains started when i was danceing (exercising!) in the morning an hour or so after breakfast, i ate the bread a few hours later and it went away alot, than came back just before i walked up to the supermarket, and by the time i was makeing dinner i could hardly stand and had to get someone to finish makeing the food for me  I ate dinner (i dont know if that was a good idea..) which felt soothing but the pain was so bad, i couldant move all night and i think it was the worst IBS attack i have ever had! It is still going almost as strong now almost 15 hours later
before i went on this diet i drunk/ate youhgourt and ate fruit all day (which bloated me but i dident have THIS much pain and the gas wasent nearly like this, i hardly got it in comparison!), and i ate grilled/baked fish with a salad with a little flax seed oil and very little soluble fiber (maybe a piece of bread a day, if that!) and only took the fiber supplement once a day and it never caused a real problem, except i suffered awful constipation and when i ate high fat foods or dairy i would be very sick with cramps, gas/bloating.
Does this mean maybe that i am eating too much soluble fiber, or that i could have an intollorance to that ?
I would really appreciate some advice because it is only getting worse and i dont know what to do
Thankyou for your time, Michelle Nielsen.
