I'm new to this website and just read your post. I have been following a Gluten-free diet as well to help with my IBS, and I have found it to be very helpful. I avoid dairy (I do eat eggs, though), refined sugars, most fats (canola oil and flaxseeds are my sources of fats), wheat/gluten, and foods that I know bother me (almonds and most nuts, spicy foods, and potatoes). I have horrible IBS-C and take four tablespoons of flaxseed a day and have just started taking Acacia within the past two days to stay regular. Acacia is gluten-free. I still experience awful bloating and constant pain, but avoiding all the foods I do, I am able to survive (although I need to gain weight since I've lost so much due to being so ill and being a stressed-out college student). My heart goes out to you - when your symptoms get really bad, try eating lots of rice (cream of rice cereal, rice cakes, etc.) and using ThermaCare Heatwraps for your abdomen. Those help a lot! I hope you feel better soon.
