Yes, your symptoms do sound alot like mine. I am no longer very constipated, I usually have a bowel movement once a day or every two days. HOWEVER, I still get the bloating, gas, distention, horrible abdominal pain, urgency, dizziness, and nausea. I used to have a flat belly, but all the bloating has stretched it out so.
Yes, it could be possible that you have eaten something in the last few days that could cause this, and eating something today (or in the now) can trigger a flare up from what you have eaten previously. The avocado is very fatty, and the black beans are a caution with so much insoluble fiber (IF). If you want to eat avocados and beans, they really need to be either pureed (guacamole homemade) or cooked to a pulp (black beans) Most of the time, cooking veggies is the best way to protect the colon from freeking out. I love avocados and eat them sporadically, but sometimes, I just can't eat them.
Keep the diet up, I know it's boring, but you have a better chance of controlling your symptoms by following it for a long period of time. This doesn't just go away over night. You might also want to try more starches and not just bananas and apple sauce, some people can't handle bananas and apple sauce, so it might be a trigger for you.
The whey protein bars could definitely be a trigger. I know what you are saying about it didn't trigger anything, but if you ate it Sunday, it could be what caused a flare up on Monday or Tuesday. I used to eat Fiber One bran cereal, I loved it and ate it almost every morning. I didn't think it could possibly be a trigger, but when I stopped eating it, I definitely got somewhat better. There were still other triggers, but it was one of my main ones. It's full of IF.
I hope that helps!!! If you have any other questions, please ask!
