A lot of people with IBS-D will tell you that diarrhea can zap the life out of you. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Some people can tolerate sports drinks like gatorade, and some can't. You can try and see how you do. Are you taking a vitamin? Something to consider. Can't hurt and may help if you're missing something. There's tons of things you can to to bump up your protein. Low fat PB is definitely a great idea. As is ground almonds (or regular almonds if you can tolerate them and chew them very well). Soy products are also protein champions. Soy milk, tofu, etc. are great.
The good news is you probably will not feel like this forever. I, too felt like this when I was first diagnosed. Once you get a handle on Heather's diet, your triggers and how your body reacts to different foods you'll feel like a different person. Take good care and if you have any more questions, ask.
PS Imodium is excellent to stop attacks when you're on the greens.
