Everything you're doing sounds fantastic  I also find that sticking to a routine of eating is best for my stomach... my stomach does NOT like it when I skip meals, that's for sure! 
For vegan and vegetarian recipes, my two favourite sites (both of which have TONS of recipes!) are:
Fat Free Vegan Recipes, and
The Low Fat Vegetarian Recipe Archive
Both sites focus only on low fat food, and since it's vegan (the first one is all vegan, the second one is about half vegan), there's little or no use of dairy products or meat. So you really just have to watch for your own triggers and the amount of IF in each recipe, but by and large most of these recipes are already totally safe!
My only advice though would be, in the beginning, while you're still trying to stabilize, to keep it simple. Choose recipes that don't have too many ingredients or aren't too complicated - that way you know that if something triggers your IBS it won't be too tough to figure out what it is. Also, in the beginning I stayed away from processed/packaged foods as much as I could (not 100% but as much as I could) - just because you can never really know what's in there/what's been done to them etc. I basically made all my own food (as much as I could) and that seemed to help so much. And, lastly, just make sure you're not eating too much at each sitting - space out your meals. This is a tough one for me, especially if I make a delicious fat free vegan meal for me and my partner, I just want to eat so much of it because it's so tasty!  Usually I force myself to have one helping at dinner then another helping a few hours later after my stomach has had a chance to settle a bit.
HTH!
