IF is like a catch-22 for both C'ers and D'ers - our bodies need it both for good health and good gut function, but for people with sensitive guts (i.e. those with IBS) IF can be difficult to tolerate. Basically, if you don't treat IF with care (by having it after SF etc.), it will greatly hurt instead of help by sending your gut into spasms and leading to C or D, depending on which way you lean. So, we NEED IF, but we have to be careful with it - and the best way to be careful with it is WHEN you eat it (always after some/with SF and never by itself especially on an empty stomach) and HOW you eat it (chopped, peeled, pureed, cooked etc. as Sand as so beautifully laid out!  ).
If you're still confused, read or re-read through some of the pages in the diet section on this site - Heather explains the IF thing in great detail.
