IBS can play games and sometimes you might get away with eating something off the diet and be okay for awhile. But I don't recommend trying to psycho-stomach analyze as to why you might be okay one time and not another.
The only real way to feel good most of the time is to stick to the diet.
I've had IBS for 48 years and I have no desire to ever be sick or in pain. I find sticking to the diet to be the most positive choice for happy living.
No IBS-unsafe food, no matter how appealing, can tempt me off the diet because I know exactly what price I will pay for eating it and frankly it's not worth it.
Oats can be problematic for some IBS people. I believe instant oats would be a safer choice than rolled oats. Personally I can't tolerate oats.
I enjoy a couple slices of white, IBS-safe bread for breakfast topped with some organic Earth Balance buttery spread (no dairy, no additives) and some Beech Nut babyfood fruit sauce like apple/blueberry or Dutch apple. Sometimes I have some natural chicken breast (cooked by me) on my toast and some mashed organic yam.
I find I have to be creative to work around the limitations posed by IBS.
