Penney,
Listen to your body, regardless of so-called triggers or non-triggers. Only you know you. It takes time and experimentation and possibly a detailed food journal to find out what is causing your issues. You are right...there is no rhyme nor reason to it. There may be some so-called triggers foods that you may be able to eat, and on the other hand, there may be safe foods that give you issues. Not everyone is the same, so there is no one size fits all.
I hope you have been totally and completely checked out by a physician to rule out everything but IBS.
I have had IBS since I was a child and it has taken me years to get on track. Although I am not perfect, I feel in control of my health.
Many on these boards will offer suggestions or even tell you exactly what to eat, but when it comes down to it, only you will be able to decide that for yourself.
Start with a very simple basic (boring) diet and go from there. Add foods slowly and allow time for symptoms to show up. They may not show up until 3 or 4 days later. So, it is slow and time consuming but you will get your answers, and then you will feel so much better.
