Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you MUST give up coffee if you have IBS, or you simply aren't going to feel better. The caffeine is no good, and there's an enzyme in it (or possibly the tannins, I don't remember which) that makes even the caffeine-free kind no good as well (by the way, you can't drink regular tea either, for the same reasons).
Herbal teas are the way to go. I drink Teeccino, too, which you brew like coffee and it actually tastes really, really good... and I was a hardcore coffee addict (at least a pot a day), so if I think it tastes pretty good, it really must be. 
I always tell everyone that if I can kick the coffee/tea/soda habit, anyone can... good luck!!
