Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Weight Loss & Diet Help Needed

I have IBS-D I have been doing Heather's eating suggestions for about five months now and along with the hypnotherapy CDs I feel in control of my IBS and am having much fewer episodes. So, that is all awesome. Additionally, I have lost at this point 35.5 lbs, this is beyond awesome! I however, need to lose an additional 46.5 in order to be in my healthy range. My issue is with finding foods that are IBS safe, that are low carb and that I can eat as I have a very limited food tolerance level. I have found that the French/Sourdough bread routine that I use for breakfast and Lunch have really helped the IBS, but it is way too many carbs. I only eat carrots because other vegetables are in the second category of eating and I am too nervous to enter that area. I pretty much eat the same thing every day, because I do not have the faith to even enter into the possible danger zone of soluble fiber foods. Is there any suggestions that you may have out there to help me. I have plateaued with the weight loss and need to adjust my diet, but do not want to restart the IBS episodes. It is not easy trying to lose weight while staying IBS conscious. I would appreciate hearing how others have handled this. Thanks.
