Howdy!
Well, my husband has type II diabetes, so we're trying to work towards a compromise diet. I believe that soluble fiber helps blood glucose more than insoluble fiber, so that's one way helping your diabetes will help your IBS.
Rye bread, barley, sweet potatoes (Heather has a nice roasted sweet potato salad in Eating For IBS), and broiled fish are all things that work well for both of us. There's not much compromise between us with fruit  , but there a lot of veggies that are good for both of us. I'm guessing oatmeal would also work, although it hasn't been cold enough to make any since his diagnosis.
A lot of the IBS treats are as sugary as heck, but there's plenty of healthy foods that won't send you into shock. And hey, we shouldn't be snarfing down the sweet stuff anyway, right?
