Try starting Heather's diet. There's lots of info on this site and in her books about what to eat for "Breaking The Cycle". Herbal teas are also a great idea. If you're stressed try Chamomile - I live on this stuff.

Yoga is also great for both stress and IBS. Could you get to a class near you?

All your tests coming back healthy is par for the course with IBS - it's really frustrating when you're trying to get a diagnosis, I know.

Low doses of anti-depressants can help IBS and if you're actually depressed, then taking meds can really help the IBS as well.

Be aware that with a lot of meds, you have to take them for quite a while before you can see a noticeable change, so give them a chance!

Hope this helps. Come and post whenever you've got a query or want to talk. I've found it really helpful to be able to talk to people who understand what I'm going through.
