Not at all! If I can help just one person avoid one painful attack, I can feel that all the misery I've been though can be of use to someone!
I make mistakes with my diet all the time (I put the "error" in trial and error!), and have sabotaged myself on purpose more than once just to feel "normal" in a social setting. It's no fun being sick, and it's worse feeling you have to treat yourself as sick, and that's as your friends see you as well. That's why these boards are so great cos we're in the same boat, and it's a big boat where there are no losers or failures!!
The diet is going to be bland at first so perpare yourself to reap the backlash from your DD (Darling Daughter). The main thing is she needs to get out of pain, so food is only for survival right now. It'll get better! So no caffiene (includes tea!) or known triggers for the moment. Here's a link to the diet parameters: http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/
