I suggest you buy this book : http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/697149/...es/Product.html I did and it was so helpful. Also try looking at Linda's post for calcium info which can sometimes help with D. There are also other ideas like Peppermint and Colofac. There is also this diet book : http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/312467/...et/Product.html

Hi, You might also want to try keeping a food diary - note everything you eat and any reactions/how you feel. Take this with you to the diet doc when you see him/her at Christmas time. This could save you some time later on. By doing this you might find some foods that trigger your IBS. Take care.
