There's a lot of factors here, unfortunately.
I'm not sure how long you've been on the diet, but it does take some time to really start working. I didn't feel any better for the first few months.
Anxiety and stress will worsen IBS, big time. I'm not sure how stressful your life is on a regular basis, but I can almost guarantee that you will NOT get stable until you've taken measures to manage your emotions. Even stressing about IBS will make it worse! Many things work, ranging from the simple self-help (exercise, yoga, meditation) to the hypnotherapy cds sold here on the site, to seeing an actual therapist and learning how to deal with it productively.
Finally, do you take imodium? You might want to consider it. Many of us D's (or primarily D's) took imodium to help us along the path to being stable. Very simply, sometimes it has to be done, for the sake of your sanity! We'd all love to be able to manage everything without a pill, but sometimes it just isn't possible. Take some imodium and a deep, deep breath, and I hope you feel better soon.
