I also have a nutritionist so she helps me out. Here is a good link for dietary things: web page
I guess i'm on the step 2, but I don't eat meat and i'm lactose intolerant. I was told to try and eat 6-8 small meals a day, and to keep my fat intake between 10-15%, less being better. I also take reglan and zelnorm. I have just started both of these so i'm not sure how well they work yet. For my C, I use Philips tablets, daily (my GI doc said it was ok to) the pills are different from the chews or the milk of magnesia, becuse it is just magnesium in the tablet, that's it. I've also used equalactin, but you have to take a lot of it and drink a lot of water for it to work. I also eat oatmeal, I think it helps me out and it doesn't bother me (though it takes longer to digest, so i keep it watery, not thick) and I drink LOTS of water. I'm not sure what my minutes were, but at 120 minutes I had digested 20% as opposed to the proposed 90-100% of those lovely eggs 
The hardest part about having both GP and IBS is that one says eat little to no fiber, and the other says the more fiber the better!!! THis makes it a very tough compromise.
Does this info help? I hope we can talk more in the future, as I am also glad to read of someone with the same problems.
