When I was in the adding-foods-back-in stage, I did it like this: introduce one new food at a time, and then try it more than just that once. If it bothered me every single time, I figured the food was a problem. If it only bothered me once out of, say, 3 times, then I figured it *wasn't* the food.
In the case of something that you've been eating successfully and you suddenly have a bad day with it, I would assume that it's NOT the food, and rather, the attack was triggered by one of the other things you mentioned (especially if you *know* you're stressed out, not sleeping well, etc). I might give it a day off, but I would definitely not eliminate it.
As for whether or not bloating constitutes an attack, I think that's entirely an individual thing. My symptoms were D and C, and I never considered bloating and gas "attacks", because while they were uncomfortable, they were such an improvement from the D! But that's just me.
