I had to <snicker> re: 'never poop again' comment.
I, too, eat very heavy on the IF... for the very same reasons.

Note: I am IBS-A now, but I started out as very much IBS-D. I am pretty stable these days.
Breakfast: Oatmeal made with 1 c. lite soy milk with a half cup of canned peaches or pears and a few dried cranberries stirred in. I usually sprinkle in some cinnamon, too.
Lunch: Turkey sandwich on lite white bread with mustard, a little lite Miracle Whip, a tomato and a slice of soy cheese (I do fine with store bought bread, always have) and about a cup of raw carrots.
Snack: 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
Dinner: White rice, green beans and chicken marinated in terryaki sauce. (These days, I can also handle a dinner salad fairly often, but that's a new development in the last 6 months.)
Evening snack: Smoothie of soy milk and a banana
Before I was so stable, I constantly snacked on FF soda crackers, but I don't have to do that anymore. My "hunger signal" is also working again at least half the time.

Well, that explains it!! Start slow, and when you add in IF, it helps to either cook the heck out of it, or puree it. If it's beans you want, try a pureed bean dip. I, personally, have posted a few soup recipes on the Recipe Board that are pureed combinations of SF and IF. Try adding just one new food at a time so you will know how you react to it. Also, eat small meals throughout the day. I try to eat every three hours or so.
Natural Calm is great for C; hopefully you can find it at a HFS near you. Heather's Acacia will help you tolerate increased amounts of IF.
Good luck!
