Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Well, depending on how touchy your tummy is...

It looks to me like it could have been quite a bit of what you were eating. Then again, some people are able to handle what others aren't so these may not all apply to you, but here are some ideas anyway...
Oh, and, I would start keeping a food diary of every single thing you eat and your reaction. Even days you don't get a chance to report in here or whatever, make sure you are keeping track of everything.

Breakfast: 1.5 c low fat raspberry ginger granola
.5 c low sugar chai and .5 c low fat soy
The granola is high IF, but is it packaged? I have had a hard time finding granola that doesn't have Milk Ingredients or anything else that is irritating. Checkfor artificial sweeteners as well.

Snack: 2 full cinnamon graham crackers (cal - 130; fat - 2.5g; fiber - less than 1 g)
Any dairy/Milk Ingredients or articial sweeteners?
Lunch: Carrot, apple, passionfruit juice w/ Tbs Benefiber
2 slices sourdough bread with 3 slices of the Hearty sliced honey smoked turkey and a light smear of original veganaise.

Snack: 2 full cinamon graham crackers

4 Ricola Echinacea Honey-Lemon throat drops while at work (no calories or fat content listed) to counteract the dry mouth caused by Hyoscyamin (Levbid generic).
Throat losenges hurt my stomach _really_ bad. I can't remember if I figured out why it was, as I don't use them at all anymore but they used to really bother me. Check for any artificial ingredients, sorbitol is a big bad in some cough drops. Artificial colouring as well.
2 liter bottles of water while at work

Pre-dinner snack: 4 low fat Keebler classic crackers
Dairy/milk ingredients?

Dinner: 2 c Campbell's Select Rosemary chicken with rosted potatoes; total cal - 220; total fat - 2 g
Is this canned soup? Like the others said, I would check the ingredients here. Be careful of chicken fat added to the soup, and MSG.. as well as the other big bads.
Dessert: 1 slice fat free sourdough bread with smuckers strawberry jam (could the seeds be affecting me so badly?)
I'm not sure if it is the seeds, some jams have a lot of artificial sweeteners in them.
Pre-bedtime snack: 1 slice fat free sourdough with honey

Multi-vitamin, C supplement, Cal-Mag-D supplement.
Check your multi-vitamin for sorbitol, I made this mistake and was in oodles of pain.

Exercise was being curled up around a heating pad after stretching my back and doing some yoga moves for back and abdominal pain.

Aww, I'm sorry you were in so much pain. I hope you can figure out what bothered you.

Several small bottles of water while at home.

I hope maybe this helps a little. I might be telling you stuff you already know about the sweeteners and stuff and I don't know the brands, just the idea that came into my head when I was reading your post.
Good luck, let us know!

Cheers,
--Steph
