Hi and welcome Bernie! 
Like Franny said, there's so much info on the diet and such on this site that it would be difficult if not impossible to summarize it all in one post. Heather gives a good list of pages on the diet to read at the top of the eating for IBS message board (here), and when you get your book it should be more clear. In the meantime though, definitely read through all those links.
Also, the breaking the cycle diet should be JUST SF foods - so NO condiments. Bland I know but your gut needs the break. BUT keep in mind that's JUST for a few days - after that, you can (and should) start expanding your diet a lot. Just keep out the trigger foods, keep low fat, lots of SF, careful with IF (never on an empty stomach, always after SF) etc.
Hope that helps
