Welcome Kim,
From another Canuck to another, it's not easy to live with IBS. And sometimes finding what will work for you may take time. For tea, I love peppermint, but I'm getting sick of it so I have some mint blends - Shoppers Drug Mart makes a Life Brand tea called Tranquility. I also drink Rooibos with apricot and peach from Celestial Seasonings. Adjusting to the diet will also take time and your frustration level will be high, but it does work. I've had IBS for over 16 years and Heather's diet is the only thing that works for me. My pain is GREATLY lessened; I used to be on the verge of passing out during attacks. Now if I have an attack it's much milder and much shorter. Now, just so you are aware, the diet works, but it's not necessarily an overnight fix. I had a bad spell starting Feb 06, and it took me until Jan 08 to get stable again. It is difficult, but worth it. I'm a new person!
If you have any questions, please feel free to post! Don't let yourself get to the end of your rope. There are a lot of very caring and helpful people here.
Best of luck!
