1. Odwalla bars are safe, Clif bars are not. Lara and Bumble bars and some other less known minimal ingredient bars are also safe, read the ingredients. Cereal bars such as Clif kids and Nature's Choice are safe and SF. Watch that the IF ingredients aren't more than the SF. Could you put a Luna bar in a baggie and eat it? My hub eats them but probably wouldn't like someone teasing him about it. They are a better protein source than Odwalla.
2. I would avoid or limit fruit juices for now. Cranberry is the best bet, not cocktails. Also ginger drinks are great!
3. I'll have to think about it.
4. watch that for now, fructose and acid are high.
5. Try skippy reduced fat; it tastes better than Smart Balance, but has sugar in it. If it isn't sweet enough I put agave or jam on it so I might as well get the sweet kind.
Subway is technically better and safer but can be so filling and that in itself can be a problem. As Syl says the raw veggies bother some people. I would try it again and eat less and slower. Also get some baked chips.
Even lean meat and dairy are triggers. They are hard to digest due to proteins etc that are known to cause problems in even normal people. Red meat is known to cause C in normal people. Dairy has the proteins and the lactose and just causes issues. I tend to be rational and not scientific and believe how something makes me feel. For me fatty dairy is the number 1 trigger and leads to D in minutes. I can handle a sprinkling of parmesan sometimes but otherwise dairy never fails at giving symptoms. Please just try to avoid it and see how you do. It is better than being skeptical; really it makes it easier!
Ginger anything is good for IBS and rice is easy to digest. All fish, unless fried, is fine.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
