Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey everyone...I'm back!
I know this is kind of a hard question to answer, since it probably varies from person to person. But I am so sick (literally) of having my IBS be completely out of control (see my first post). Since having tried basically everything, I know that the only thing left is to change my diet completely. The thing is, I do not know where to start. I admit that my eating habits are not good, and I am what you'd call a sugar-addict. I think this may be contributing to the cramping and disabling pain I experience every morning of my life. I need to get this under control because I'm 16 and I need to regain control of my life that has been so messed up over this IBS for the past two years. So my question is for anyone that has found relief in changing their diet--how do you start? Do you start by eliminating certain foods? Or adding certain foods? I'm so lost and this is my only hope now. Still trying to keep up that positive attitude!
Thanks for any replies.

Smiles for everyone,
Trinity
