No problem about asking questions! I enjoy helping and being able to actually answer them once in a while 
I do only eat one insoluble per day, WITH a soluble base. I don't know if I'm getting all of my nutrients that way, but I AM getting my IBS under control. One insoluble per day is really all I need to get things moving every day. As for serving sizes, if for example I have two sandwiches at lunch, I'll have a slice of tomato and onion on each. Then no more insolubles the rest of the day.
I really never stopped eating insolubles - I've had IBS for 7 years and only found this diet/site in June. I started keeping track of my triggers and cut out the insolubles that did it for me. I guess I ate pretty plain foods for about 3 weeks before I really tried experimenting, but mostly I would eat only soluble foods while I was having D attacks (usually last about 3-4 days) then go back to insolubles. I know that doesn't really go with what the site says, but again, I was doing all of this before I even knew about this place, and it has worked for me.
I'm not taking an SFS, and haven't ever tried them.
I stay positive because I know that there are so many worse things that could be wrong with me (and with my luck, should be wrong, so I'm thankful that IBS is it). And, though it can be difficult, I try to think of something positive about my IBS, too. For example, I have pretty great abs (despite little exercise) because of C and trying to keep from passing gas around others   ... I know it's difficult, and everyone goes through times when you just want to give up. But I'm a firm believer that our purpose in life is to bring joy to others - and that is what helps me make it through the day. Your life wont always be ruled by your bowels. Remember, tomorrow is another day.
Wishing you all of the best!
