Especially where you're a C'er, you should definitely not be continuing to eat only SF foods, if it's been more than a few days. You don't actually "stabilize" from eating just SF foods... "stabilizing" is a long-term process that happens as you learn to eat essentially like a normal person again (meaning, a good variety of foods, minus the blatant triggers such as dairy and red meat).

You should begin to incorporate insoluble fiber foods back into your diet. I found it was best to try one "new" food at a time. Expect that it won't go completely smoothly - you might find that your symptoms really aren't any better for a while. Trust that your body will catch up eventually, because it will.

Stabilizing takes a long time, a lot of patience, and a good bit of tinkering around to figure out the right balance of SF/IF - because everyone's different on that one. But it's worth it!
