I really suggest reading through ALL of the IBS diet information that Heather's put online... pretty much all of your questions are answered in there, especially the what to eat when you can't eat anything question. 
- Rotisserie chicken - white meat only, no skin, and it's safe
- Garlic - you'll have to try it, some people are fine with it and some aren't
- Applesauce is soluble fiber and therefore safe
- Barley... well, it depends what you mean by "whole". Pearl barley has the insoluble bit removed and it's therefore soluble fiber. If it still has the bran then it should be treated as an insoluble fiber food.
- Pancakes in a restaurant are not safe, generally speaking. Make your own pancakes - there are recipes, do a search.
- Wild rice is not technically rice - it's the seeds of an aquatic plant. It's an insoluble fiber food and should be eaten accordingly.
- Pea pods are insoluble and should be eaten accordingly.
- Raspberries - ditto
- Celery - ditto
- Bagels from a bakery were always iffy for me, because a lot of them contain dairy. I find I'm fine with Thomas's bagels, which are completely dairy-free. Obviously you'll want to avoid fancy flavored ones that contain unsafe ingredients, such as egg bagels, which would contain whole eggs.
Notice that I didn't say any of these foods are BAD... they aren't. A lot of them are insolubles, though, and you have to eat them according to the IBS diet guidelines for maximum safety and minimal problems. If not familiar with what I mean, definitely read through the "soluble vs insoluble" information from the diet link above.
"New potatoes" are just small potatoes, usually red-skinned, and they're wicked overpriced, IMHO. I just substitute normal potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, in any recipe that calls for them. You could use normal red-skinned potatoes and not peel them, but be advised that potato skins are a particularly difficult insoluble to eat.
Is there a particular reason why you went with Nayonnaise instead of a regular mayo? Egg allergy? I'm not familiar with the soy mayos to recommend a better brand, but personally, I just use reduced-fat regular mayo. Just2Good, if you can find it, I think it's a Hellmann's product, is probably the best one I've tried.
Good luck!
