I don't know if this is an IBS thing or not but I have had a lot of trouble with nuts and seeds. They used to cause severe one-sided throbbing headaches, nausea, fainting, only thing to do was sleep (it was always a very deep sleep) and on waking go to the toilet, usually to have bad diarrhoea, after which I felt much better. They became more frequent and this was one of the reasons I gave up working. It took a while to realise nuts and seeds were to blame, because I was a vegetarian at the time and used them a lot in cooking. For a long time I thought it was chocolate, but that was because I always ate nut chocolate!
Three years ago I went on a detox diet - nothing too extreme, but I haven't had the same problems since, only two headaches in that time. I eat nuts occasionally, they tend to make me uncomfortable and "pass through", but nothing like the same problems as before.
Like I say, this may be nothing to do with IBS, but I would definitely treat nuts with caution.
Hope you're feeling better by now anyway! Are you drinking the fennel and peppermint teas?
