Sounds like you have a lot of stressful things going on right now and that's not helping your IBS. It's hard to find a way to calm down at times like these. We've all had our stressful times and we are all here for each other. {{{hugs}}} I'm trying acupuncture. I can't see any major changes, but I'm noticing minor improvements. If you can find a way to relax and take your mind off of the things that are stressful it really helps. I know that's easier said than done. I'm having a hard time doing that right now, too. I'm not much help. So, I'll just offer some more {{{{{hugs}}}}}.
