Nicotine withdrawal effects on IBS

Sorry - I think I should have posted this as a new post? I'm new at this.
After reading all the posts on the effects of nicotine on the digestive system, I'm confused. I've read that nicotine helps IBS, and on other threads, that it hurts. I stopped smoking over two weeks ago, and my IBS has spun out of control. I started the IBS diet a couple of months ago, and was making progress until I stopped smoking. I'm D (or was) and now seem to be A. I get horrible smelling gas (between of 4 and 6 o'clock every day - can anyone explain that?) and have had bowel incontinence, which I rarely have. I'm taking 1/2 tsp of Acacia twice a day and drinking plenty of peppermint and fennel tea. The fennel tea does not seem to be helping with the gas. Anyway, if this keeps up, it's going to make me want to start smoking again. Please help!
