Well, at least we know why you are grumpy! But seriously, I can't comment on skipping meals, some folks on this board will tell you that if you do you will make your condition worse. That hasn't been true for me. The only thing that I can tell you, that has worked for me, is to eat smaller meals 3x per day; take a calcium carbonate pill with each meal; and take a teaspoon of soluble fiber (I use Benefiber) with each meal. This routine has kept me D free about 98% of the time for the last several weeks. I still have pain and urgency, except now with a solid stool, and I am still working on those problems, but since I found this website I have hope for the future. As far as your "trigger foods" go, you will have to pay strict attention to your diet and of course avoid those things which don't agree with you. I hope someone with more knowledge than I will answer your post soon, good luck.
