Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm really discouraged. I've have IBS-D. I've tried everything and I'm getting worse. The acacia is giving
me stomach cramps about 20 to 30 minutes after I drink
it. The pepperment,fennel,ginger tea is upsetting my
acid reflux. I cut back on all the bad stuff. I found
out I can't have soy so I'm avoiding that. I went away
for Christmas and everytime I ate I got stomach cramps
and had to go have a baby (well, I swear thats what it
feels like). I'm at the point where I don't want to
eat anything at all. I'm fine until I eat. I've got
tickets to a concert in a couple weeks and a play in
February and I don't think I'm going to be able to
go which will cost me a fortune in unused tickets and motels. I'm at the end of my rope. I don't know what
to do next. If I'm home I can eat and then know that
I'll be sick shortly after, but I can't leave the house
or go anywhere if I eat. I've got the books, the acacia,
etc. and nothing is helping. What am I doing wrong? Should
I eat more? If I eat more then I'll be sick more won't I?
Very unhappy
