You doctor made an excellent suggestion. The FODMAP diet has been clinically shown to reduce IBS symptoms 70-80%. Many of on the board use Heather's diet in conjunction with the low FODMAP diet with good success.
The first two links in my signature are two articles that discuss the low FODMAP diet. Unfortunately, they don't address the problems with known IBS triggers such as alcohol, caffeine, fat, high insoluble fiber, etc. Heather addresses these sort of trigger foods very well.
Ask lots of questions there are many knowledgeable individuals on the board.
