What type of bread and granola do you find safe?
bread - I've been doing OK with this Czech rye bread. It has some wheat in it, too, but I'm not sure what the ratio is. I try not to eat too much of it in one sitting, though.
granola - again, it's Czech so I can't tell you the brand. I checked the ingredients and this is what's in it:
Oats, vegetable fat, raisins, dried apples, puffed grains (wheat, corn, sugar, wheat bran, malt extract), oat bran, maltodextrin, dehydrated lemon juice. So it all sounds pretty safe and preservatives-free, except for the bran. But the cereal doesn't have too much bran, plus, I only add a little bit to flavor my otherwise plain cereal.

I'm jealous that bananas don't make your C worse!  I miss them.
I don't think they make my C worse, although I can never be 100% positive. When I'm supposed to get constipated, I do, no matter what I eat/don't eat. The joy of IBS I guess.

You are really inspiring me to try my "own" approach. Maybe forget about the GF and just try to relax more with the EFI.(like try a yolk or ham) I have a habit of keep on doing the same old thing even though I don't feel better. 
I figured that I've got to find my own diet. I treat the EFI diet as guidelines rather than strict rules. It's my own body so I should know best. I still have bad days (I just had a bad attack last Friday) but then again, I also had attacks when my diet was a lot more restrictive. My goal is to be able to enjoy as many foods as possible without triggering my IBS too much. That means that I'm not going to eat something that I know is a trigger for me, but rather acknowledging that sometimes I will suffer, no mater what.
I would try to go off the GF diet if you don't feel better being on it. Maybe just try a piece of toast every day for a few days and see how you feel. You might find out that you can tolerate gluten/wheat just fine, and that maybe it was ingredients in some gluteny products that made you feel worse (sweeteners, preservatives, etc.)
Good luck!
