Are you sure this is just a regular IBS flare-up and not some other sort of infection? Have you been to your doctor recently for a check up?

If you're sure it's just IBS acting up due to stress, how about starting over with the EFI diet? I would begin with the BTC diet again and after a few days work in some IF and protein. I would also recommend drinking lots of peppermint tea to help with the spasms and taking 1/2 - 1 Imodium in the morning to help with that feeling of urgency. I can also switch to C, but this dosage of Imodium doesn't bother me. If you continue to take Benefiber and gradually up the dose, this should keep you from getting constipated.

HTH. I'm sorry to hear you're in a flare-up after being stable for so long! That's happened to me too and it's so frustrating.
