wow ruchie what a great thread!
Anything I could add would just be a repetition of what others have said BUT I just want to say that lately my IBS has been really good and I attribute it to two main things for me:
1. Exercise, exercise, exercise (and drinking lots of wate, getting lots of PROTEIN, and eating more often to go along wtih that)
2. NOT LETTING IBS RUN MY LIFE!
The last point is kind of like a huge revelation for me lately. I think this is something emphasized with the hypno tapes (? I've never done them) but this has helped me so much. The exercise started making me feel better such that I could forget about it for a bit - and then I don't know, I just made the decision to stop let it running my life. I know it sounds a little flitty and airy and such but I'm happy 
And the number one thing that hurts? That time o' the month - no matter how well I'm doing, the MINUTE I start bleeding on the first day of my period, welcome D (ugh). That usually lasts a few days and then it subsides, but still! Not something I want to have to deal with every month

HELPS:
Metamucil- more in helping me better tolerate a variety of foods, helps me go a little
Colace
Fiber Choice?- recently started it and not whether it's helping, it's certainly not hurting though
Apples- with the peel, they help me go!
Loosly following Heather's diet- since I'm able to eat more foods now I don't have as much trouble 
HURTS:
Chinese food- but I eat it anyway
Too much high fat foods- I can eat some and be ok, but too much and oowww!
Candybar type of chocolate- I can have some fat, and I can have chocolate, but put the 2 together and ouch!
Not being consistant with taking Metamucil
Not taking Colace
More then a little flaxseeds
Eating oatmeal several days in a row
More then a little whole grains
Wearing pants that are higher cut and tight
Various other fiber supplements
