Again, I think it's an individual thing. My most recent lunch meal was a pumpernickel bagel with hummus, followed by an unpeeled apple. That was just fine for me, but my IBS (mostly C, going to D with anxiety or too much fat over several days) probably isn't the same as yours! Heck, my IBS is different on different days: what I was eat and do right before my period is different than what I eat afterwards.

What I use as a guide is remembering what I felt like before Heather's diet when I would eat bran cereal for breakfast and raw carrots for lunch (sometimes good, sometimes way crampy). I can then compare it to how I feel on a pure SF diet (no cramps, sorta backed up if it goes on too long). So if my gut feels a little overstimulated, then I up the amount of SF. If my gut feels all lazy, then I try to add more IF to the middle and end of my meals and/or increase my exercise and herbal tea intake (or even have some non-decaf Earl Grey - that's my laxative substitute ). The big thing is that all of these changes are gradual because it does take a while for everything to react. Now, making these changes is as intuitive as drinking more water when I'm thirsty.

The hypno CDs are a great idea.
