LOL Sand! It is possible to cheat and get away with it but you have to do it carefully and not very often. Personally I would have D almost immediately if I had pizza, on the other hand I can have 4 bites of cheesecake after a safe meal and be ok. Try not to combine triggers too much with both dairy and fat or caffeine etc. Ice cream is not a necessary cheat because soy ice cream tastes so good. Soy Dream PB ice cream is awesome! But remember when cheating that you are the one that will pay the consequences and oh man! sometimes screwing up will put me in a bad streak for weeks and weeks. Because I am IBS A it is very difficult to get back into a stable condition if I really mess myself up.
You might find in 6 months when you are stable that you won't even want to eat anything bad. 1 or 2 bites might be enough! Honestly the cravings go away very well and that food becomes so taboo in your mind.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
