I hear ya sister!! I had to go to the doctor yesterday because I have had some strange sinus infection, though today they tell me I don't truly have one. But that's besides the point. I of course had to go through medical history at the appointment and when IBS came up my Mom mentioned that I know a lot more about IBS then most people. The doctor than asked "Why's that?" in that arrogant tone that only doctors get and I had to explain that because I live it everyday and follow a strict diet I am able to stay stable for the most part. He asked if I take any of the drugs available for it and of course I don't, I only take Acacia. But of course he seemed annoyed at that because it is a "natural" product in his mind which he obviously doesn't belive in.
So, that is my IBS frustration, and I understand how you feel about following the diet but still having bad days, I still get them too and who knows why, I just try my hardest not to let it get me down and if I feel bloated and C, I eat baked potatoe, cooked carrots, fruit and Ezekiel bread, that usually gets things moving again.
Whew...that was a long post for me, but I wanted to vent as well. I hope you are having a good day, you deserve one.
Take care!
