Sounds like you have been scared by the posters who have problems with foods that are not unsafe. You, in particular, need to eat oatmeal and brown rice. You can stay GF if you want- it isn't a problem. But you need to eat a slightly different version of EFI than people prone to D. People prone to D can have problems with some of the 'safe' things on the list because of their increased spasms. But people with C need to make sure to not cut out those same foods. Your C will not get better unless you eat enough fiber- always based in SF and always in forms that won't cause spasms.
C is the hardest to deal with and takes a long time. SFS, lots of fennel/water, lots of fiber, and exercise help C (also pureed fruits and veggies high in water will help).
So when it comes to your identifying triggers it is a little different for chronic C. You won't get sudden C from triggers like D people get sudden D. So you have to stick to the diet until your spasms stop and your bowels move again. Then you may be able to sense what foods are ok/bad for you.
Remember everything with a SF base but don't eat white bread all day long.

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!
