Here's a post I did a little while ago - it's got links to a couple of pages in this Website that you may find helpful.
My GI guy thinks lots of soluble fiber is great - very happy about that. He also agrees that alcohol and caffeine are GI irritants, although he didn't go so far as to say I should give them up (I have a sneaking suspicion that that's because he wouldn't be willing to). Giving up red meat he's also sort of wishy-washy about - he doesn't think it's a bad idea, just not convinced it's necessary. (I am, by the way - I think that may have helped me more than any other one aspect of the diet.)
Bottom line, though, my GI guy's attitude is that if it helps me, keep doing it. He's smart enough to know there's not much he can do for me, so if this diet works for me, he's all for it.
All my doctors are thrilled at the low-fat aspect of the diet - and the great effect it's had on my cholesterol and triglycerides.
BTW, in this quote:

I have made an appointment to see my new Dr about my IBS (diagnosed by my old doctor after examination and blood tests, also told me a good way of regulating my weight Stupid man!)
Are you saying that your old doctor told you IBS was a good way to regulate your weight? Please, please tell me I've misunderstood this!
