Your safe list looks good, except that I'd be careful of oatmeal when you have D. Some people are fine with it, but it is a whole grain, and it bothers some people (like me).
Crystal lite is a no no! It's full of artificial sweeteners, which are nasty for IBS. Jello has lots of artificial flavors so it's not always best. It depends what your body can tolerate.
Tuna, chicken, Luna bars, and pita bread are super safe. At least for me... some people have trouble with Lunas. Once again it's all about your body. You'll have to try things out.
I'm not sure about marshmallows or fruit snacks. They may have high fructose corn syrup, which I'm fine with but some people are sensitive to.
Good luck! Feel free to ask about anything else you're unsure about.

For me personally, I can eat fruit snacks (I actually love them!). I also eat tuna in pita bread. I can't eat outmeal, gives me D and very gassy.
I lost some weight and I basically ate a lot of skinless chicken breast (cooked on the George Foreman Grill), just a little rice, applesauce, soy chips, peeled asian pears, papaya, and turkey breast. When I ate this I immediately dropped some pounds and I don't have a lot of pounds to drop but I wanted to lose 8 pounds and did so.
I think this diet is pretty good in keeping the pounds off because everything is low in fat. The one thing that keeps the weight on for me is all the white starches, like bread & rice. Once I cut out the rice I was able to lose a lot of weight.
Hope this helps.
