Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | From stable to mildly instable, where did I go wrong?

For those of you who don't know my story. I had my first major IBS crisis in july this summer. Got out of it thanks to Heather's diet and the good counsel on this site. August and september were great months, I was a 100% stable. Following Heather's guidelines. In the last two weeks, my tummy's started to act up again. Last night, I had my first colon spasms in two month. This afternoon after lunch, I had another pre-d attack (little pieces of semi-firm stool). It's true that I have been experimenting with a lot of new soy product recently (soy cheese, soy ice cream, soy chips). I've been trying to pinpoint the culprit...
In the last two days, i've been trying to reduce fat cause' I think it's responsible.

I have been eating oatmeal cereal with vitasoy vanilla milk for the last two month without any problem. But everytime I take it in last two days, it gives me mild spasms right after. Last night I got a super safe dinner (Boiled white chicken meat, potatoe, carrots). I added a new product, a mango-ginger chutney. It was very spicy, could it be that?

I've also notice I've gain 10 pounds in the last month! Before my IBS crisis this summer, I was 185. When I started the diet two month ago, I was 160. I went from 160 to 170 in the last month. I think i've been increasing my amount of fat without knowing it. The tofu and soy product can be very high fat sometimes. Either that or I developed an intolerance to soy already? Maybe i'm just plain tired... But I would go for the fat increased plus lots of stress hypothesis.

Anyway, anybody know any low fat soy product I can buy in Canada?
