Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Recurrence/Need suggestions

I have not been on these boards in some time. I was diagnosed with IBS several years ago. My occurences come with anxiety attacks. I had been on medicine for those for a while but my doctor and I had tried to ween me from them. I guess I chose the wrong time to do it as I am going through a divorce, am without a job and to top it off I got really sick a couple of weeks ago. I think the stress and the zpack and tylenol I had to take for being sick really did me in. I was able to get through three months without taking the medicine for anxiety. I am having really bad symptoms with my stomach though. Feeling like my stomach is knotting up sometimes from cramping, some D and some C but usually I am C a majority of the time. Right now I have brought out my fennel tea. Please if anyone can give me the short list of things to eat right now while I am having this attack (I am not really eating anything right now). Also what can I drink. Is sugar ok with my tea. I cannot drink it plain. I appreciate your help. I'm looking for my book as we speak.
