Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Please help ! Unbalanced Diet ?

I am IBS-C but having been recently diagnosed am still learning what foods work and which ones don't (most of them). However, I am a nutrition freak and use the website (thedailyplate.com) to track my calories and nutritional intake. And I've found that I'm fine. I avoid things like bran and whole grains, but eat enough soluble fibers to fill the gap. Here's a standard day for me:

Breakfast: Egg white, rice milk, banana, strawberry smoothie
10am Snack: A handful of nilla wafers or a baguette with some jam
Lunch: Boar's head chicken on english muffin with some cooked veggies on the side like carrots or peppers or green beans
4pm snack: Honey glazed snack mix (from the IBS Cookbook) or some other easy to snack
Dinner: Piece of salmon or tuna or chicken, baked potato or jasmine rice or spaghetti, veggies like squash or zucchini
10pm snack: Bowl of cream of wheat or cream of rice with some blueberries thrown in

I think that's fairly balanced. But if I'm missing something, let me know. I miss eating nuts and other foods high in good saturated fat, but I can't handle them. So be it.
