What does it take for you to consider a food to be safe?

By way of explanation, I have three types of symptoms (please don't read on if details are too much information for you):
1. bloating
2. BMs that range from soft/loose to full blown D
3. painful cramping usually relieved only by explosive (and often uncomfortable or even painful) D (this is the 'must find bathroom NOW' symptom that I refer to as an "attack")

On the IBS diet, I have not been having any fullblown attacks, but I still have symptoms 1 & 2 (bloating every time I eat more than a nibble of ANYTHING) and some form of symptom 2 every time I have a BM (unfortunately this is not every day).

So is everything I've been eating on this diet "safe" for me because I haven't had any attacks? Or probably unsafe because of the bloating and D? (I've been operating on the assumption that I need to figure out the triggers for the D but it seems to be so arbitrary. I maintain no illusions that I will be able to determine any unique triggers for the bloating.)

What does it take for you to consider a food to be safe?

Thanks!
