I'm not a C, never have been. I am SOOOO a D. Big time. However, I think I can help you a little.
That fruit salad you had worked for you, so that tells me your body needs fruit. What if you had the soluble fiber BEFORE you ate the fruit, which is what we're supposed to do anyway? The prune juice is really pulling out the BIG GUNS; you're brave! I wouldn't dare go near it with a 10-foot pole! But I'm a D, not a C.
Something I dearly love but have to go easy on because it makes me poop -- is blueberries. What if you had a rice cake or a slice of sourdough bread, followed by a nice bowl of fresh blueberries? Oooooh, baby!
Yeah, the indigestion. I get that too. It's just one of the many joys of IBS. It goes away though, so I ain't complainin'. If yours does not, see your doctor. One of the gals here had it real bad; turns out she had worse gastritis than IBS.
Also, you can incorporate some veggies into your diet by making homemade soup. If you don't want to make your own stock (I love making stock; keep a large supply on hand in my freezer at all times), you can buy canned. Then you just chop up your favorite veggies and toss into the stock. Bingo, you have poopin' food. But have that French bread beforehand, don't forget!

P.S.: Can you tolerate whole wheat? While most IBS-ers can't, I'm one of the fortunate few who can, so I use it instead of white flour; my bread of choice then is whole wheat. It helps keep me regular (as if I need more help).
