Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Vegetarians

I know there's a lot of vegetarians on this site. I am new to this eating program. Only 2 weeks. and I am finding myself getting very frustrated and overwhelmed by the changes in my diet. It all came to a head when I was out to dinner yesterday (not my choice, family obligation). I found out that their rice was made with chicken stock so I couldn't have that. My planned main staple of the meal. Ended up eating just black beans, onions and peppers and tortilla shells. Also ate more chips and salsa than planned because I was soooo hungry.

I haven't found a milk substitute that I like. I've tried several types of soy, rice and almond milk and only tolerate the chocolate almond milk. I desperate miss milk and cheese as those were a big part of my veggie diet. Since I'm so new, whenever I have anything off the SF area, I am having mild attacks. I feel so hungry and am actually craving meat which is freaking me out. I think it's the low protein.

Any advice you can offer me? It's clear that this new diet does work, but I can't handle going out and am starting to get worn out from the new diet. Thanks.
