Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Please! any advice

Ever since I started with the IBS struggle I've also had problems with my cycles. 4-6 months ago I would only have maybe a week in between bleeding time(sorry if gross). Doc recommended I took primrose oil and it straightened out - until this week! Now I'm bleeding for for 11 days now and real heavy today...The real question here is do the changes I recently added to my IBS daily diet been possibly counteracting with the primrose to render it ineffective or what? The changes are: Heather's fennel and peppermint teas and the capsules, and probiotics - all taken 1x a day. I also take a liquid multi-v (have been for 8mo - miracle 2000) and have had a few bouts of heavy anxiety (which Is my biggest trigger). I haven't changed my diet (Heather's green list only) just added light yoga from the site (yrs of exp).
I and my husband (we're newlyweds) would be sooooo thankful for any help -even to know if this is something that comes with the IBS struggle - my doctors don't say much more than it will straighten out or go on Birth Control Pill... ???
Ps -This is my 1st post
