Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi, I'm new to the boards but have been a very active reader of this and other IBS sites. I was diagnosed with IBS-c (although occasionally alternating) about a year ago. After I was diagnosed I changed my diet and I had good results. I also lost about 10 pounds because I was eating so much healthier. Now it is about a year later and for the past month I've been having a lot more bloating than usual. I haven't really changed my diet except for adding acidophilus and a tiny bit of flax seed on my peanut butter toast in the am. I have also gained 7 or 8 pounds! I haven't done anything different and I've been exercising 5 or 6 times per week. Normally if I am gaining weight it's because I am eating too much junk but I can't eat junk anymore, so what is causing this? Help! I hate feeling bloated and I can't afford to gain weight and buy all new clothes that fit!
