Until your book arrives, you can read about Heather's approach here. Among other things, this will tell you which tests you need to have - like the one for celiac disease - before you can get a firm IBS diagnosis.
It does sound like you're doing too much - wheat crackers, whole grains, and granola are all very high in IF. You need to be eating those carefully to begin with, which means well-cushioned with SF. Granola is also often high in fat. Ditto sardines, if they're packed in oil.
You might take a look at the Heather's Break The Cycle diet. This is something you could try for a few days (no more than 3) and then start adding in IF, protein, and fat as described.
