Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | not sure if I'm convinced...

I don't know if this EFI diet is working for me (yet). My BM are still infrequent and hard. I'm still (if not more) bloated and gassy. Plus, all I read about it how constipating white bread, rice, and pasta can be. I haven't been able to eat any of the foods I really love in two weeks, and I thought I would be able to get over that with replacing foods that make my stomach feel better, but I have yet to feel 100%. What am I doing wrong? I have the Acacia tummy fiber and drink the mint teas every day. It's been so bad that I had to take a laxative (ok'd by my GI) last night just so I didn't have to wait anymore to go to the bathroom and so that the gas/bloating would subside. I'm in a wedding this weekend, and while I'm terribly nervous there will be nothing but oily and diarrhea-inducing foods, I'm also worried that I'm going to be bloated from being on this diet all week. UGH I'm so discouraged.
