1) I echo everyone: BE PATIENT. I've been on this for about 6 months now, and not everything on the diet works for me. It will take time for you to figure out what affects YOU. Everyone has unique triggers. And check what's in the bagel; some have milk and many have High Fructose Corn Syrup.
2) Along those lines, have you been thoroughly checked out by a GI doctor? If all your doctor did was listen to your symptoms then say "Oh, it's IBS" I reccomend you switch doctors and get thorough testing including blood work. Celiac testing is a good idea too, especially if bloating from the bagel is something you've been dealing with for a long time.
3) How are you eating the egg whites in the morning? Is that an omelet or scrambled? And the stir fry...fried food is a bad idea. Even if the chicken and shrimp are OK, fried stuff isn't. Lay off that for a bit; it's not going to help.
Chill out. That's all.
