I know broccoli is not the best for your digestive system, but 1/2 cup cooked has as much Vitamin C as an orange. Other good sources that were on your list include romaine lettuce, sweet potato w/ skin, baked potato w/ skin (not sure if skins are a problem for you), shiitake mushrooms, yellow corn, carrots... HTH!

I'm not sure how well you can handle brussel sprouts? They are very high in vitamin c.

Actually most veggies have more vitamin C than an orange, if you want to use that example.
Ruchie, seriously, perhaps steam/drain/mash & then puree some broccoli & use it as a kind of sauce/condiment or topping. When I'm stable, I can handle it prepared in this way. Toss in lots of any kind of mushrooms & it's delicious. It's babyfood broccoli, essentially, but it's actually really yummy! (Confession, I can easily eat a whole broccoli in this fashion without a problem, but why not try 1/2c.?) Another good recipe is to steam broccoli & potatoes & mash/puree. Maybe some carrots on the side?
Carrot juice is a fabulous green salad dressing, fish marinade/sauce. The reserve liquid from mushrooms add so much depth & flavour--"umami" to everything. Try Kree's chicken recipe with some shiitake mushrooms, or osyter mushrooms substituted for the problematic ingredients.
Truly, it's mostly a matter of creative substitution & ultra-IBS-safe prep. techniques.
A great pasta accompaniment is zucchini. Just shred/grate as you would for muffins or a loaf in the food processor & add to pastas. It might need about 2 min. of cooking, so just toss it in with your pasta at the last 2 min. before you drain it. You could add some chicken breast or turkey breast or lean fish bits & voila!
Also, pureed/cooked dried beans/peas can be great accompaniments/sauces. Just soak them overnight to ease cooking. My mother does this.
Don't panic! I know you're creative!
Kate.
