Yeah I remember you posting about the Tomato sauce. I'd stay away from it until you're a bit more stable, then play around with different kinds trying to find one that you're ok with. It took me I think 4 types before I found a safe one for me. Of course, I've always been making homemade stuff that I'm fine with, so if you're up for doing that then it would be safer.
Some things I found the easiest to handle was blueberries mixed in with cereal or muffins, and whole wheat rice/pasta mixed in with my white rice/pasta, and very very well cooked green beans.
I didn't mean to say you're still suffering the effects of the cleanse. What I meant was that it threw your stomach off course a little, and it will take some time to reach a balance. The digestive system is very routine-dependent, so changes can take a while to register completely.
Hope this is helping you..

Thanks again.
I am surprised it takes this long for the stomach to get back to normal.
I am relieved if this is still the aftermath of the cleanse, but disturbed nonetheless.
I didn't realize it was THIS potent.
Here is what I was thinking.
Enough fiber?
Meal 1
1 cup Egg beaters (2-3 times a week)
Bowl Corn Chex
Oat Bran and Natural Applesauce
Meal 2
Turkey Breast Sandwich on White Bread w/lettace, light mayonnaise, hot peppers
Pretzels
Peaches/Applesauce
Meal 3
Tuna Sandwich
Oat Bran with Applesauce
Meal 4
Chicken Breast
Rice/Couscous
Spinach
Meal 5
Protein Shake w/banana
Oat Bran Applesauce

I am IBS-D so I'm hoping I'm giving you helpful info, but I think another IBS-C could help out more here!
I must say looking at what you ate, the only IF I see is lettuce, hot peppers and spinach. If you weren't feeling too much discomfort/pain with what you ate today then I suggest eating more IF tomorrow, a bit with every meal. Try looking at Heather's cheat sheet and pick some foods from the IF column.
Oat bran is both soluble/insoluble fiber, so I'm not sure if that really counts as IF. You do seem to be getting a good SF base with every meal, so that's good.

I also had spinach today and had an attack but I was thinking it was the potato I ate before I read this. Maybe I was wrong?
I suppose it could be the spinach but I didn't feel the bad discomfort until I ate the potato or about 20 minutes afterwards. Don't attacks usually come immediately following what you ate or within 1/2 hour or so?

Spinach gives me a BIG problem! I can't tolerate it at all.

Hey again thanks.
I think applesauce to go with pears has IF too.
Heather's diet did not say how much IF to have per day, I assumed I was getting a sufficent amount.
I was going to add one can of spinach, instead of a half.
I really want to be sure with this one can I will now be getting enough to be on the safe end.

Attacks are not always immediate. They can be delayed for a day or so.

I added one more Oat Bran with Applesauce, doubled the Spinach, added more water, and one more spoon of Benefiber, this is plenty of fiber, whats the deal.

Okay, thanks. Then I'm guessing it was probably the spinach then. I'll give the potato another try since it's on the SF list. Be careful of the spinach Naturapanic, it caused a pretty bad attack for me.

You need to give it time.
Have you tried a fruit smoothie yet?
