Ditto Mary V's comment about avoiding soy. I can't touch soy - I never get D - ever - unless I eat anything with soy in it and then 20 minutes later I'm in misery. Mary mentioned soy protein - also watch for soybean oil - it's in almost every single food in your refrigerator, pantry or cupboard. Any "vegetable" oil is almost always soybean oil, BTW. Thus, I cook all my own food and read labels religiously. Yeah, it's a drag, but it's worth it not to have crippling pain and embarrassing D, followed up by a week of inability to eat anything without suffering.
Personally, I think a lot of IBS is caused by soy sensitivities - but since the soy industry has convinced us that it's healthy, we eat it and assume that it's something ELSE that must be hurting us. When I cut soy completely out of my diet three years ago (it's HARD), I lost 15 pounds and haven't had gas or D since - not once. I still have problems, but the elimination of soy products has been life-changing for me.
Hang in there!
