Michele:
I am IBS-D nowadays, but for the first 30 years of my life I was IBS-C so I understand your situation. I am not completely symptom free, but I have been pain-free and bloating-free for about 18 months now through a careful diet and lifestyle. I control my IBS without taking any IBS medication (which doesn't work anyway).
If you want to e-mail me (my e-mail address is on my profile), I'll see if I can help you break the cycle.
But you have to be truly willing to make changes. I find many people on this message board are looking for quick fixes. Sadly, there are no quick fixes for IBS.
I've been living with IBS for 46 years and I have found an approach that works (based on Heather's diet), but it includes doing things like eating organic, not eating prepared foods, staying away from food with additives/chemicals, etc. If you can handle this type of natural approach, then please contact me and I will be most happy to set you on the road to feeling better!
Belinda
