Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | HELP - what in the world did i eat that's bad???

I am being SO careful. I have eaten nothing but IBS-safe food for several weeks now. But right now, I'm having some of the most awful abdominal pain I've ever had. And I'm sitting at work. Can it get worse? Here's what I've eaten lately:

Dinner last night: Casey's Asian Rice Salad (first time - so yummy, Casey) and french bread with a little seedless blackberry jam.
Breakfast today: Corn chex with rice milk, and two small tablespoons of granola added (this is pretty typical); banana; fennel tea with acacia.
Morning snack: Slice of Heather's zucchini bread, handful of honey glazed snack mix.
Lunch: leftover Asian Rice salad and sourdough bread (plain).
Snack: Heather's rice pudding (made with rice milk) and some more honey glazed snack mix.

Now suddenly, BAM! I'm in pain! The only thing I can think is that perhaps the honey in both the rice and the snack mix has HFCS. Is that a large enough concentration to cause the pain I'm in right now? I eat the snack mix quite a bit, and don't have these episodes every time. Or was there just too much IF in the rice salad??

Thoughts?? I'm losing my mind...!
