Beth, forgive me for jumping in, but I notice you mention having a bloated belly quite a lot and I just wondered if you are sure this is because of IBS? For years I thought my "6 months pregnant" look was due to overweight and/or bloating - I definitely had a lot of bloating, but my stomach never really got smaller. Anyway, long story short, turned out I had a fibroid on top of my uterus, size and shape of a football. Got rid of that, now have "normal" slightly flabby tum, but definitely no more pregnant look - lost 12lbs weight in one day! Also some improvement in bloating after the op, although more when I started this diet too.
Hope you don't think this is impertinent of me, I just thought I'd mention it, in case you haven't had a gynae check lately - it is so easy to think that all our problems have the same cause. As a good friend very helpfully said to me "just because you have one thing wrong with you, doesn't mean there can't be something else wrong too!"
Best wishes
Josephine
