Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I feel like I'm back to square one

Hey all,
I've just been really bummed lately. I seem to have gone backwards again with my IBS. I was doing so well for such a long time. I started to eat Organic pasta sauce with no oil in it. I could eat out well- even on vacation I was able to eat pasta from a restaurant! I was trying new IBS friendly recipes from this website like pasta salad. Of course I still missed real chocolate and everything else, but I felt pretty good about myself and I almost felt fairly normal for a bit. (Dont get me wrong I didnt go crazy with red meat, dairy, oil or fried foods-those are still completly eliminated)
Then bam all of a sudden I am in that vicous cycle again and I dont know how to get myself out of it.
I used to eat Luna Bars- one for breakfast and one for a snack. The fiber really seemed to help me. Not to be gross but my BM's were a normal color and everything. Well all of a sudden my morning Luna Bar started to make me feel crappy. So I stopped eating them all together. I have no idea if my cycle of attacks has anything to do with me stopping Luna Bars-but it all happened around the same time. I always eat a turkey sand. for lunch-all of a sudden that bothered me. One night even my chicken and rice with a bit of teriyaki sauce (which I ALWAYS eat) bothered me. I just dont understand what happened. How come we do so well and then boom- attack after attack after attack. Its been constant for me for the past month and I dont know how to stop it. I feel like going back to the doc. but whats he gonna tell me?! My BM's are back to being yellow and D. I'm frustrated and in pain. I just dont know what caused my body to start up again and how to stop it. Thanks for letting me ramble.
