Steph's handled most of your questions incredibly well again. Two things:
Bagels should be okay, but stick with plain until you're stabilized. BUT - you guessed it - no dairy cream cheese (there's a very good soy substitute made by Tofutti) and no butter. There are soy margarines and Smart Balance Light is dairy-free, but most "regular" margarines have some dairy in them (usually as "whey").
As I understand it, spiciness itself is not technically considered an IBS trigger, but if your tummy is already in an uproar, any added irritation just makes things worse. With this, as with so much else, people vary. I know there are other people on the Board like Steph who can handle only a little spiciness or even none at all. On the other hand, spicy food does not bother me at all, ever.
