I see this a lot. You aren't eating much of any IF. You need to eat IF, as Heather says, but within a meal/snack of SF, especially when you have C or A (caused by a week of C).
Here is a common day's food for me (not everyone can do this much IF)
bowl of oatmeal with soy milk and raisins
snack of luna bar or banana and almonds
banana and grapefruit second snack
lunch: maybe a sweet potato and salad or rice/veg cakes and veggie tray or leftovers, always includes IF
afternoon snack: banana and orange or peeled pear or pineapple
dinner: always have an IF veggie with my dinner, sometimes I have Smart Taste pasta other times just white rice
additional snacks can be raisins or other dried fruit if I have SF like my evening acacia in my gut.
I made a breakfast dinner two night last week. It had some WW flour in the pancakes and some onions and tomatoes in the egg whites but not much. This lessened amount of IF caused me to be C the next two mornings! I was surprised because I am never C anymore. But it showed how an all SF diet doesn't work for people prone to C, nor does Heather anywhere say you should eat an all SF diet after the initial phase.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
