Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Can someone please advise me???

Hi there. I am 30 years old and I think I suffer from ibs. My dr told me the only way I can be diagnosed is by having a colonoscopy to rule out other things that mimic IBS. I am thinking of seeking a naturapath dr though instead as recommended by a friend.
So yesterday I went to a diner and had a veggie burger with mozzarella cheese(cheese in moderation doesnt upset my tummy) instead of french fries I had a green salad with a little bit of italian dressing. Well I think the dressing did it because 30 min after the meal I was in excrutiating pain! I felt as though I couldnt sit because I had a pins and needles fireworks sensation going on throughout my body. I had to pi but it wasnt flowing easily and with a lot of pain also. About an hour afterwards I had a bm but it was normal although I had gone several times it wasnt like diarehha. Shortly afterwards I had some flaxseed oil and some oatmeal, I felt better later in the day.
I am not certain on what foods I can and cannot consume.
Thanks in advance!
