I quit smoking after this last bout with IBS. Right around the holidays too. The stress was killing me. But not smoking has helped the tummy. I know Heather says not to chew gum, but I had to do something to kick the oral fix. I chew Big Red. Mostly because it has sugar, the artificail sweetners send me over the edge. They say that the first week is the hardest, and then the third month. I always fail at quiting around the third month. Hope this helps! Good Luck!
