hey Sheryl, welcome to the boards!
I have recently adopted a vegan diet and have not had much of a problem adapting it to the IBS diet.
Right now, as I write this (I am on lunch), I am eating rice, and a stirfry of veggies and tempeh. If I am stable I can handle cooked veggies, as long as I am having lots of rice, bread, or pasta.
I also make the same stirfry outta tofu, I marinate and brown it in the oven first, so it is not the slimy stuff. ( I can get a more exact recipe ofr you if you want, I follow one on the Mori-Nu brand packaging)
I also eat Boca Vegan burgers occasionally, although they can make me acidy.
I have heard of, but not yet tried, of vegetarians blending silken tofu in pasta sauce to add an extra something to their dinner. I can only eat tomatoes in small doses, cause of acidity.
I also make lentils and eat them with rice, or in a pita, with veggies of course. I smush up the lentils with my fork before eating them, and have not had a problem. Some IBSers can get away with them if they are careful, some say they cannot. My advice would be to DEFINATELY make sure that you are stable, and that you eat alot more quantity of the rice than the lentils, especially at first.
Also, I make easy versions of hummus in my blended (mushed up garbanzo beans). I like to stuff that in a pita.
Breakfast, I alternate between dry cereal, like kix, with soymilk, bagels, and oatmeal. I always have fruit with breakfast. I also made french toast out of soymilk and banana last weekend, but it turned out a little mushy.
For recipes, check out fatfree.com (especially good for lentil ones) or vegweb.com (make sure they are IBS safe) or the IBS recipe index (just be sure to sub in vegan products for animal products.)
Also ,buy EnerG egg replacer, available at health food stores, to use in baking. (It is a powdery mix) I made muffins with them, and they were delicious!
If you can handle peanut butter (some people can in small doses), PB&J can be a quick lunch.
I also (after making sure that the sauce does not contain meat base) order out for pizza minus the cheese, adding broccoli. My first choice to go out to eat is at japanese restaraunts. Order white rice to go with your meal and eat it first. Then, for appetizers you could have steamed veggie gyoza (dumplings) or miso soup. For the entree, they usually have vegetarian sushi meals or rolls. Try a roll with advocado, they are delicous! The pickled ginger served with sushi is SOO delicous, too.
I am new to cooking and do not have much free time, so most of my suggestions are easy fast and quick ones, but if you have more time and patience on your hands and are better in the kitchen, there is a wealth of recipes out there! If you are not sure if something is safe, post it and we'll let you know.
i won't discuss B12, because someone else already posted about it, but remeber that it is impossible for your body to get it from nonanimal sources, so it is VERY important to take a supplement or have fortified soymilk everyday.
Sorry, you hit my latest weak spot, just let me know if you have any questions!
Good luck, it is such a great decision to go vegan. 
In my case ( I am IBS-A - mostly D), it has helped my IBS by making my bms more complete... but I can't guarantee the same results for you, but good luck!
