Hi - You're not a nuisance! The "IBS Guidelines" just means the general dietary guidelines, which you're probably familiar with from the books. Avoid trigger foods entirely (red meat, dairy, fried foods, coffee, etc.). Base meals and snacks on soluble fiber. Be very careful with insoluble fiber, and add it to your diet with caution (cook, peel, seed, dice, puree fruits/veggies, blend beans, don't have insoluble fiber on an empty stomach or without soluble fiber). That's all!
