Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Scared Im not getting all the vitmains I need??

Hi All
I am wondering what to do about calcium? I dont have any dairy and I hate soya/rice milk except if its in something but I dont have it much, am I missing vital calcium and how do I get it? I looked into taking a calcium supplement but wasnt sure what doesage I need???
I'd really appreciate it if someone here knows and can tell me.
Also, I don't understand the soluable fiber supplement? Is it vital to take it and what does it do apart from reducing bloating and gas.
Also, right now my diet isnt very adventerous, we are on a tight budget for food right now so should I be taking a multivitamin??
My diet mainly consists of:
A lot of the soluble fiber foods, white meat or fish with soluable fiber and veges or beans for dinner.
I am planning to expand my diet gradually as funds improve and I am more stable with my IBS.
Is there anything to take for bad periods? I find I get the munchies every single month, Im not hungry but I want to snack, and of course this doesnt help my ibs, I get quite bad pain and end up taking pain killers but you can only take 6 in 24 hrs so for the other few days I am in pain. Low in energy too.
Feel like I need a boost of energy!!
Please if you can give me any advice I'd be so grateful.
