A soluble fibre supplement. Perhaps the most important thing when it comes to IBS. Since you have gas issues, you need to be really careful. Try acacia, benefiber, equalactin, citrucel. Start in VERY small doses and increase VERY slowly or you will only get even more bloating and gas. Don't buy a big bottle at first. Try a small one and see how you do. Give it a good 2 weeks. Sometimes, it takes a while to get on the right one. I prefer acacia.
Also, being lightly active after eating is helpful.\
Have you tried the gas relieving pose in yoga? Lie on your back and bring one knee to your abdomen. Wrap your hands gently around the outside of your knee. Hold for 20 seconds. Try the other side. I find this will often dislodge trapped gas and move it somewhere else. Often, I get a fart within a minute or two. Ahhhh.
Oh, and TONS and TONS of water. I hope this helps. I'm so sorry you're having so much trouble. If you would like, you could give me an example of the types of foods you're eating, and I could see if there's something in there that could be a culprit.
