Suggestions for confusing diet

I was dx w/IBS in January 2011...then a few weeks later dx with Meniere's syndrome. I have food triggers for the IBS that interfere with the triggers for Meniere's.....I eventually gave up bc I just kept getting confused on what to eat and what not to eat....Now my diet is all over the place and I believe the IBS is flaring again. I am considering a low carb diet. I have tried South Beach, but I really didnt care for it....I did Atkins several years ago, and never felt better...but it's so hard to go back to..and now I have to watch sodium/dairy (cheese, etc.) intake as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

When I was first dx with IBS I requested a blood test for CD and it came back neg. I have also read that the best way to diagnose CD is by doing a biopsy of the small intestine. I havent done this.

I have also read that many MM patients have CD. All I know is I constantly fret over this. It's a vicious cycle of anxiety. It isn't good for the IBS and it can trigger attacks with MM too....I am working hard on eliminating gluten. What a change...so difficult and expensive. I have the Specific Carbohydrate diet cook book and intend to draw what I can from it.

Thanks for your input.
