I have the same problem. Eat LOW GI when you can.

For example, for hypoglycemia they'd normally recommend a low gi grain bread,but grain bread can hurt your IBS.

What I do is take a sourdough bread and put low gi toppings on to help lower the gi of the entire meal.

Here is a sample of what a normal day might be like for me.

Breakfast.
Oats with soy milk and sliced banana with a little brown sugar.

Snack: Rice cakes with Avocado or some mango

Lunch:
Sourdough roll with lean turkey, LOTS of avocado and some cranberry sauce that is not too lumpy(if it is lumpy puree it and pass through a siv)and a slice of lettuce.

Snack: Mango and pear pieces. No skins.

Dinner:
Grilled or Steamed Chicken with sweet potatoes, plain potatoes AND well steamed asparagus or zucchini.

Dessert: Soy Icecream with papaya or just a small scoop of Soy icecream with a cone.

Drinks: Low fat, low GI Soy Milks. Water. Smoothies made with Soy milk, a little organic honey and good fruit like mango or papaya. Other blended fruits you can tolerate like strawberries would be good too.

Pretzels are also a great snack. Just watch the salt intake!
