Hello all

At the moment I'm really struggling. I would say this is my worst set back since discovering Heather's diet in January of this year.
I'm suffering from quite painful abdominal cramps; it's always worse in the morning. Sleeping and IBS don't seem to mix well for me.
So like any IBS sufferer worth their salt I have gone on the most basic of diets; for the last two days (today is the third day) I have eaten nothing but white bread and drank peppermint tea. Yesterday I pushed the boat out a bit and had a bowl of rice krispies with soya milk.
I feel quite down at the moment, it seems like I can't eat anything without my stomach been in pain, and even though I have restricted my diet I still don't seem to be getting any results.
In fairness I did go through a bit of a silly stage. I was on holiday 3 weeks ago and decided, after a few bland days, to indulge on non-IBS food. I guess I haven't really been right since then and last weekend I had a pizza. I realise my mistakes and I'm trying to get back on track but is it usual for the stomach to take so long to settle again? As I said it's getting to me at the moment.
I would appreciate anyone't insight into my current plight!

Kind regards as always

Tim
