Heather mentions somewhere that if your IBS is stable, you can get away with a bit of cheating. I have found that this is true with regard to IF (even then never wholegrains, but from fruit and veg). But I am so sensitive to fat that each individual meal must contain no more than 20-25% of kcal coming from fat, otherwise I feel the rather unpleasant effects in due course (half a day- a day later).
As for FODMAPs, green beans, chives, beansprouts, bokchoy, which are all apparently FODMAP friendly give me around a thousand times more gas than the pure humble white sourdough bread. Butter is said to be incredibly low in lactose, I feel even the tiniest, smallest, almost negligable amount however. Some apples, such as Granny Smith are supposed to have equal amounts of fructose and glucose, yet I have problems from them too. (I'm much more sensitive to lactose than fructose though)
I can eat venison, ie red meat naturally low in fat. Beef (or pork), even if v lean and actually not too fatty overall as part of a meal is still a huge problem for me, perhaps it's the protein.
All these have not really changed over the course of years for me, not got better or worse.
--------------------
now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols)
before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010
FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml
[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]

I don't understand your post at all. Can you clarify?

It was in response to what one could eat/ate before FODMAPs. A bit far-fetched, sorry, but thought I'd share my experience. 
In sum, I don't think what you can tolerate really changes over time. You have to figure out what you can and can't eat and then afterwards stick with those foods. at least in my experience.
