The FODMAP does address the "the well-established dietary triggers for IBS such as fats and other GI stimlulants/irritants (red meat, dairy, fried foods, soda pop, coffee, caffeine, etc.)" And it "does it address the critical need for IBS to distinguish between soluble and insoluble fiber"
In fact, in one of the first papers published by the Monash group that developed the FODMAP diet (see second reference in my signature) the authors state
"If the symptomatic response is inadequate, specific questioning is required to determine the adherence to the dietary principles and any deficiencies corrected. If adherence was strict, attention may be needed to modify intake of resistant starch and insoluble and soluble fiber. Other dietary triggers such as food chemicals may need to be considered, as should potential factors such as caffeine, fat, meal size and regularity."
This is one of the reason that the Monash group recommends that one work with a dietitian when follow the FODMAP diet so that one has some guidance about common IBS triggers as well as high FODMAP triggers. And these matters are more fully discussed in some of the Monash books such as
