Hi there! Welcome! 
The fruits have tons of INsoluble fiber.....the fiber supplements have SOLUBLE fiber. Read up on soluble fiber on Heather's faqs.
Bananas are good to eat...they have loads of soluble fiber. PLAIN french bread is also good (ingredients: water, flour, yeast). Pretzels are good too. Try to keep your diet low fat--no fried foods--and elimnate dairy and red meat. Chicken and fish are wonderful for IBS! (Some tuna cans contain casein, a dairy ingredient, so you may want to avoid those cans. Some IBS folks have probs with casein, some don't).
If you have a problem with rice, pasta, bread, etc. you may have something called celiac. Were you tested for this? You may want to speak to your doc about it.
What happens to you when you drink tea? Do you get heartburn?
I hope this helps start you off in the right direction, and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Take care!
*hugs*
