Karen, I don't know that I have anything helpful to make your IBS better, but I can at least offer empathy and encouragement. I battle with IBS-C and Celiac Disease,too. I've dealt with the Celiac for over 9 years now, so maybe I could at least help you out there! I only had my IBS diagnosed 10 months ago, tho, and only "found Heather" this month!!! I'm VERY ENCOURAGED by her books and this incredible website. If you can somehow get to a more stable point, I'm sure you would find that the 2 diets (Celiac and IBS) are extremely compatible. Just think how awful it would be for us if IBS required whole wheat or barley!! There are delicious rice pastas (Tinkyada is great!), and so many recipes can be easily converted exchanging white rice flour or other GF mixes for the reg. flour. What med was it that made you so tired? There are MANY diff. meds they could try if that one didn't work for you. Have you tried others? Is your IBS C or D? Hang in there. I'm adding you to my list of those I pray for when I'm battling thru an attack!
