Well I started my diet today instead of yesterday. Yesterday was a transition day since I still had some foods in the house I wanted to get rid of.
Breakfast:
I started the day with Scottish oats with raisins, cinnamon and stevia. It was not so good.
breaks: (work day)
2 bananas
orange
1/3 pineapple
raisins and a few pieces Crispix (very little sugar)
pistachios
lunch:
little bit roasted chicken thigh and roasted vegetables including potato
dinner:
hakka ginger chicken (again thighs- ate 2)
rice with lots of ginger
mixed vegetables (peppers, bok choy, shiitake, scallions)
additional:
tea and 2 gingins (they have sugar but I am allowing 2 a day for the tummy benefits)
I am having a big sugar craving now! Will be going through major withdrawl.
Exercise:
did almost the full T tapp beginners tapes today. Ran out of time because I watched the intro stuff. Tomorrow I can do the whole thing.

Today was a bad day. I got my all over sick thing where I am no good all day. I am starting to think it is not IBS but migraine based. I never thought I had headaches or migraines but now have to look into it. So today I couldn't exercise at all and ate little, but I did stay on my diet! 
Breakfast: late in morning had a large bowl of Scottish oats cooked on the stove (better) with some peaches from a can in it and stevia.
Lunch: banana, grapefruit, corn chips
Dinner: leftover chicken, rice and veggies with carrots.
cup of tea with stevia and an orange.
That's it. Hopefully I feel great in the morning!

Today I woke up headachy and nauseated again but came around in the afternoon. No exercise besides some housecleaning and I stayed home from work.
Breakfast: quick oatmeal and raisins with stevia
lunch: carrots and rice, and peeled pear
snack: banana and pistachios
dinner: small chicken breast, rice and spinach/broc mashy mess with some peanut sauce
snack: tea and raisins and corn chips also a few blackberries
My gut was very flat today until just a few minutes ago. So things are going pretty well. I should be back to normal tomorrow.

Today I felt great!
Exercise: a full hour of T Tapp. I was very warm when done. you actually get hot where she says- your core, down the front and back. It was hot even after I showered.
Breakfast: oatmeal with raisins like yesterday
snacks: 3 bananas, pear, orange, pistachios
lunch: carrots, little bit of rice, some deli chicken slices, pineapple
Dinner: leftover rice and chicken breast with peas (not a lot- was nasty)
snack: crispix and raisins
need to drink my acacia tea mix still- yawn
Weight is 138.5 BTW. Highest lately was 140 so I have about 18 pounds to reach my goal weight.
IBS update: the diet seems to be going very well. I had a teeny bit of gas but no real bloat!

Today was pretty good. The cals were quite low.
I did my T Tapp workout.
breakfast: wasn't very hungry- banana, peaches and blackberries
snack: banana, pear
lunch 1: oatmeal
lunch 2: carrots -steamed
dinner: salmon fillet (small), curried quinoa with dried fruit and almonds, roasted brussel sprouts and broccoli with pecans, sesame oil and orange zest
snack: plain cheerios (mini box), raisins, pistachios
Cals: 1570
I had some bad stomach pain today because I forgot my snacks when I ran errands and I was gone for a few hours. I came home in pain and had a banana and pear and felt better in 15 minutes. I am coming back from that sort of thing really quickly and I am still not bloating!

What do you attribute your non-bloatiness to? T Tapp? Or some food you removed? If so, which one?
Brussel Sprouts, broccoli, pears, and bananas with no bloat is quite impressive!!!

I won't know which food is causing me to bloat until I add back in the soy/carageenan, sugar, msg components and wheat. I am not sure which I will add back first.

I can't remember exactly what I ate but it is pretty much the same as the other days.
B: oatmeal
snacks: fruit and probably pistachios
lunch: leftover quinoa and brussel sprouts and broccoli
dinner: crab cakes, carmelized onion and roasted garlic mashed potatoes with org. chicken stock for liquid (yum) and salad
Note: I used panko crumbs on my crab cakes and so that is my first cheat. I had gas in the night but no bloat.
Dessert: raisins and tea
Exercise: TTapp instructional 2 (still not sore)
weight 138

Today I had a little more tummy problems than the last 6 days but nothing too bad.
Exercise: T Tapp tape 2
B: oatmeal with banana
snacks: banana, canned pears, orange?
lunch: 100 cal popcorn, raisins, pistachios
I can't remember exactly what I ate through the day and when
dinner: chicken breast with asparagus and tahini sauce, croquettes with spinach, from leftover mashed potatoes.
tea with acacia and a gin gin and dry crispix.
So I had the panko bread crumbs yesterday and also a little bit tonight on the croquettes. I could have bought GF breadcrumbs but didn't want to spend the money. Right now I am thinking they did make me a little more gassy/bloaty but really I am not sure.
