Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Always return to safe when symptoms get worse?

Been on the diet now for over 2 weeks. Also for over a week w/o wheat and fructose - FODMAP approach. A few days I've added 1/2 tsp benefiber 3x daily.
Since a few days I really had the idea my symptoms started to get better (still constipation, fullness, and gastric pain; but less pain and acceptable fullness).
I've added spinach, rice crackers and chicken filet in the last days.

Yesterday the gastric pain got worse again and at night nausea..
At first I thought it would be some stress that triggered it, but today I got my period. I think this also is a trigger for the gastric pain/IBS for me (?)

Today I went back to just oat with ricemilk and banana, at night mashed potatoes, boiled carrots and egg-white.. :?

But is it neccessary to go back to this very restrict diet (which I think is pretty safe for me?) everytime my symptoms worsen??
