Dairy is on a different level than fructose or soy. Dairy should be avoided by all with IBS because it always causes problems in the digestive tract.

Dairy products[1] (cheese, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, cream, half-and half, ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, frozen yogurt). Dairy is an Irritable Bowel Syndrome trigger even if you're not lactose intolerant. It's simply not just the lactose. It's also not just the high fat content of most dairy products that can cause your IBS to flare. Even skim and lactose-free dairy can trigger IBS attacks. In addition to fat and lactose, dairy contains components such as the proteins whey and casein, which can cause severe digestion problems. Though yogurt is traditionally recommended as an "easily digestible" dairy product because fermentation has reduced the lactose levels, even non-fat versions contain whey and casein, and should be avoided.
Dairy, egg yolks and red meat are triggers in a different category than fructose. Not all with IBS are lactose intolerant but all those with IBS on Heather's diet should avoid dairy or try to for the most part. However fructose malabsorption concerns only a portion of those with IBS. And fructose eaten with fiber found in fruit should not bother most with IBS. Excessive amounts of fructose quickly ingested can bother anyone with a touchy tummy.

fat is on the page before as the most common trigger BTW.
Here is where Heather talks about fructose:
fructose listed with other thing that need special handling
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
