Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I've been having a full-fledged IBS attack for the past 2 months and can't seem to calm down for any length of time; too much stress. My son's cancer recurrence is foremost on my mind. He's married, so I have absolutely no control in anything with limited access and knowledge, and am trying to avoid more confrontations with his controlling wife. I've been subsisting on crackers lately and some rice. I've also been drinking Ensure brand drinks - always the vanilla and chocolate (I mix them together). I've read the posts on here that say these contain dairy. I've read and reread the ingredients and I see no reference to dairy anywhere. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? If my IBS is this bad now, what will it be like once they decide to start treatments again and I'm running back and forth to the hospital everyday? I need help. I have the hypno tapes and they help, but only so much for so long. Any other ideas?
