Maybe your IBS is different than my IBS. For me, fruit sugars act as a laxative. However I do have spasm after I go, so maybe that's because of the IF. I am hesitant to recommend anything because I am not stable. But I will say that once I adopted that regime from my doctor, I was able to have a very large BM every day.
I ate the orange at breakfast (with SF) and I ate the dried fruit as an afternoon snack with some almonds. So no, that was not the EFI way.
When you say "if i ate the fruit in the morning, I'd get C", you do realize that the colon is responding to food you ate yesterday, since it takes that amount of time to reach your large intestine. So if I eat dried fruit in the afternoon, it'll only determine the kind of BM I have the following day.
