Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Help! Second day on IBS diet, having attack

Hi, today was my second day on the diet and I was fine until about 2 hours ago. I woke up, took 2 citrucel caplets, ate egg whites cooked with pam spray, w/salt,pepper, a little garlic and a flour tortilla, ran 2 miles on tredmill, had fennel tea, later took 2 more citrucels, ate 1 cup cooked spagetti squash w/ 1/2 cup white rice, a teaspoon light smartbeat margarine, salt, pepper, a little garlic. About 45 minutes later started to feel a little pain, bloating, gas. Had a cup of peppermint/ginger tea(which didn't help and strangely made my throat sore). Now about 4 hours after I ate the squash I am VERY bloated, gassy and constipated. What did I do wrong? (I was concerned about eating the spaghetti squash because in the past several times when I have eaten it, I have had an attack, but after reading all about IBS triggers, I assumed those attacks must have been from the tomato sauce and cheese that I was putting on the squash) Could squash be a trigger for me even though it is on the "safe" list?
