Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Ug! I just posted a big long post and it's vanished!!! So the post in a nutshell -
tummy problems since I'm a toddler
I was always running to the bathroom no matter what I ate
at 14 I was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with me so they told me I had IBS
Around 20 my symptoms changed - I was only getting diarrhea 2 or 3 times a week
BUT terrible terrible gas and bloating to the point it hurt
last year I was diagnosed with SIBO
doctor didn't help very much
she gave me a antibiotic that helped a bit but when it was over I went back to my same farty-pained self!
I am now 25 and trying to figure out what to do
I have done some "research" online but haven't gotten far
If I stick to rice products and meat I am fine
Anyone can see that is totally unhealthy and boring - so I fall off the wagon A LOT
any suggestions? words of advice? food ideas? medicine? probiotics?
any help would be sooooo greatly appreciated
feel free to email me at lnmcnulty@gmail.com
Sorry for the scattered and incomplete sentences, I am just frustrated that my first post is gone
