Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Help where do I go from here?

I have been on this diet for about 5 years now and I am stable but in a rut I eat the same foods the same way and the same "if" everyday. I no longer have C just GAS and sometimes some stomach upset after a bm. I am so desperate to add new "if" into my diet. But I don't know where to go from here since I have been doing it this way for so long. I am so tired of the repeating the same meals every week. Here is a example of my meals. Breakfeast ceral, lunch sandwitch something with lettue and tomatoe as my "if". Snack peaches and strawberrys or blueberry muffins. Dinner Green beans or a small salad with romaine lettuce, carrots tomatoes,mushrooms and black olives. The only fruit I do is thats souble is peaches very boring. Thats it EVERYDAY! Those are the "if"s I can do. Strawberrys, blueberries, lettuce, tomatoes,green beans. I know I can't do bannans or grapes or peas there triggers. I have tried applesauce before but it gave me stomach upset like gas bubbles so i figure it was the fructose and I do stay away from hfcs and it helps. I do drink the fennel tea as well and take bean-o before each meal and gas-x if I need it. So where do I go from here how do I add more differant if in my meals when I have been eating just those things this long. How can I add things like brocoli or beans and other "if" back now? I am afraid of what might happen. But I am willing to take a chance. Can someone give me some advice how should I go about this. Would the acacia help with this? Please help me get out of this rut. I need new choices in my life before I go crazy. I would love to try some almond butter or something like that. I have done it before but with bad results. Do I try again or not? I will take any advice thanks.
