Recently the British Society of Gastroenterology published practical guidelines for managing IBS in which they reported the most common intolerances found in IBSers is dairy and wheat. The details of the intolerances are in the research paper given in the reference below. Also, individuals with fructose malabsorption and IBS have troubles with the fructans in wheat but don't have problems with other grains containing gluten. Also, a more recent study (the second reference below) found that looked at food antibodies and found wheat, beef, pork, lamb, and soya bean to be the most problematic foods for IBSers. Interestingly dairy is not on the list.
