Hi there and welcome 
I have to be honest. Most people have figured out there triggers food-wise, but not I. Something that may or may not have bothered me one time, will be different the next time. There is no rhyme nor reason to it. 
However, I have been symptom free for about two months now, all since beginning the hypnosis CD's. So, that tells me, at least for me, mine is mostly stress related.
I have incorporated many items back into my diet with no problems at all. That was not always the case. I could never get a handle on what was affecting me and what was not, until I realized that food was not the issue for me.
My IBS was triggered by a very stressfull time in my life in 2007. Although, being C most of my life, I believe I have had IBS for a very long time, and the stressful time just flipped it to D. It seems for me, as long as I do the CD's, meditate, walk 45 minutes every day that I can, practice yoga, and follow a vegan diet, I have no symptoms whatsoever.
They took my mom to the hospital by ambo last Sunday night. I got the call @ 2AM. In a panic, I flew to the hospital, and basically spent the night there for 4 days straight. I figured my IBS would be out of control. But no, it wasn't. I continued my program, even though I was tired (and fatigue is a trigger for me, also), and I still had no symptoms whatsoever. So, go figure.
All I can tell you, is that everyone is sooooo different with this disorder. I personally think it is best to get a handle on it as soon as possible. After all, you are young, and you want to get control of it now, so that you can live a happy and pain-free life.
