Little Minnie, I so agree with you. It is such an individual thing, as I said in another post. You can be aware of trigger foods, but sometimes they may not be trigger foods for you. I do agree that dairy, red meat, high fat, alcohol, caffeine, and artificial sweetners should be avoided, not only by those with IBS, but everyone in general. This is where Heather's diet excels!
IF is so necessary for a complete and balanced diet. And as you say for some, not all, this must be balanced with SF, very carefully so as not to cause symptoms. But, some people can handle raw veggies, as myself, with no symptoms.
Naps do not bother me at all. My most difficult time is when I wake up in the AM. That is when the bloat is the absolute worst for me.
Nice thoughtful post, Minnie.
