Hello ClearSky, My mom has IBS either. Last January, I was very illness for 15 days. I told my fiance to got me an emergency room. I had an abnormal serve pain so badly. The er doctor gave me a morphine inject into my IV. It help stop pain. He asked me what is my rate of pain?? I told him it's 10. My fiance was worrying about me. I had been sick. I threw up a lot and diarrhea. I went to CT Scan for my tummy. ER doctor found it about my colon had swollen. He said didn't know why. He sent me into room for inpatient. I stayed there for 7 days.
I can't eat anything. My diet was clear liquid. It's so suck! My GI doctor found it out. I had an ulcerative colitis. The dietitian suggested me to eat a diet. I can't eat Fiber over 10 gram for a while. I can't eat any seed with raw fruit and vegetables for a while. Also, I can't drink dairy product and alcohol for 2 weeks. I got out of hospital. My fiance and I went to supermarket to look for a health with lactose-free at dairy. I bought a cheese, soy milk, coffeemate with lactose free. I have to drink plenty of water. I took care of my diet until heal it. 3 weeks later, I came in and see GI doctor. I told him I am doing fine and getting better. He asked me the question, If you have any threw up or diarrhea after you out of the hospital? I told him no. I was careful what I eat. He said, you can eat anything you want. If any food is bother you and don't eat it. I will never eat lettuce, romanie salad again. I can't eat it because cause diarrhea easy. It's so strange.
I suggest you go to supermarket or health food store to look for lactose-free at dairy. You can eat an "Aged cheese" I hope it will help you get better. Just be careful what you eat. You can't eat any seeds, raw vegetable and fruits. That what I learned it from dietitian. Now, I can eat fruits and vegs. I haven't get throw up since last January at the hospital. I will go see GI doctor next Thursday morning.
P.S. Hospital is the worst ever I had. It's not fun! I got many IV moved on my arms, I got many draw the blood in early morning. I hate the needles stuff! I got a blood clot in my hip. I got double IV for my colon and blood clot to rid of it.
