From Heather's book Eating for IBS:
"Raw Fruits, raw vegetables, raw greens, raw sprouts, and seeds are all very high in insoluble fiber"...."it helps tremendously to peel and cook these fruits and vegetables until tender as this makes their fiber content dramatically less likely to trigger attacks." pg 13-14.
Have you read her book?? You might not want to follow it word for word in every respect but it will give you some good ideas to play around with and then you can figure out your own system and your own triggers. Not everyone has problems from the same foods, not everyone LIKES the same foods, and not everyone has the same degree of difficulty with common triggers. I've learned mostly what to eat by trial and error.
And regarding broccoli---for me cooked is just as bad. Same for cauliflower and cabbage. I just don't eat it.

I take soy protein powder what brand do YOU use? I'm on the hunt for more options myself.... and have no problem with it. Just make sure it the one you get doesn't contain any dairy (NOT JUST LACTOSE FREE), eggs, or artificial sweeteners. There are other kinds that might be safe such as those mentioned above (egg white, rice, also hemp) but they are much more difficult to find.
Post workout I have a shake made with a scoop of soy protein, a cup of soy milk, a pear, 1/2 a banana, 1 tbsp acacia and a teeny bit of honey.
Protein bars are a little tougher. Luna bars are the only dairy free ones that are low fat and high protein that I've been able to find. What kind of luna bar did you try? Do you eat soy regularly? Because soy can be VERY bloating if you haven't had it before - it takes your body some time to get used to it. (And luna bars have tonnnns of soy in them)

The one I'm taking right now is Weider Brand 90% Soy Protein (chocolatE)...
It's kind of gross though so I wouldn't really recommend it... lol. It was cheap at the drugstore and I didn't have time to go all the way to the mall.
The one I USUALLY use is GNC Women's "Soy Supreme" Chocolate protein powder, which is quite good. I've used that one for quite some time, but I'm still trying out other ones and such as GNC is a bit pricey.

Thank you soooo much... my PT asked me to find ALL of the ones that would be safe for ME to use and then she will pick the one that she thinks will benefit ME the most. She thinks the one I'm using now is "too clean" not really sure what that means...other then it does not pack the punch that other (non-safe IBS) meal replacements do. LOL
