I heard about this diet from a friend with Crohn's; it works for all GI problems.
You don't necessarily have to shop out of the way, but if you want a good selection of dairy free products like ice creams and cheeses, it is worth going to a health food store or a supermarket with a large natural foods section (like where I work). All grocery stores carry some soy and rice milks now a days but are limited on soy sour cream, cheese, creamer, ice cream, frozen treats and that kind of thing. I don't think there are any other particular differences to this diet. Most recipe books and sites will have some gourmet ingredients here and there but those aren't IBS specific.
Generally this board is best for cooking questions and recipe information. Any diet questions can go on the main diet board along with all threads of IBS health and living really. 
--------------------
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!
