Hi Alan! Welcome to the boards! Just a few more comments for you here.
Italian bread is fine, as long as it's dairy-free! I've found that some breads sneak milk in there, so you'll want to check the ingredients! I don't know if there's ever milk in Italian bread or not. Anyone else know?
I'm also fine with a little lettuce on a sandwich, but be careful because raw veggies are the worst trigger and I think some people have trouble with even a little bit of lettuce.
Fiber supplements can cause bloating and gas if you start upping your dose too quickly. If you ease into it you shouldn't have any problem, though, as long as you're not taking psyllium or inulin, both of which can cause lots of gas in IBS sufferers. Heather describes more about fiber supplements and how much to take here: web page
I'm also fine with light mayo, and I'm pretty sure most of us are. As in most cases, just use it with caution first and see how it works for you! I know it's overwhelming at first, but once you get things figured out you'll feel so much better. Good luck!
