You might consider eating 4 or 5 meals a day instead of 3 main ones. Many people with IBS find this helps manage symptoms.
Which veggies are you eating and how are you preparing them? Did you experiment with remove of fruits with excess fructose such as apples, pears, etc and reducing galactans found in onions, garlic, soy, etc?
Have you considered trying the gut-directed hypnotherapy CDs? Clinical trials have shown hypnotherapy to be quite effective particularly in younger individuals. You might find the article Hypnosis treatment of IBS on the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders web site of value.
Did you GI doc describe you as being IBS-C, IBS-D or IBS-A? It would be helpful if you gave us a list of the meals and snacks you have eaten in past 2-3 days.
