I always start with the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. You only do that for a couple of days. You can then start adding in safe (low fat, not red meat) protein, and since you are IBS-C, some well-cooked fruits and veggies. Vegetable soup is nice, as are baked sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
Start taking a soluble fiber supplement (search this message board and the site as a whole about this) asap. Make sure you're getting at least half a gallon/2 litres of liquid a day - peppermint tea will help with cramps, as will a heating pad. Exercise is the other key thing that helps with C.
A lot of Heather's book is already on this site - take a look around and read up!
