First, I think this is a great idea. I wish I'd thought to do this when I was first starting the diet.
Second, after listing everything (well, not everything) in my kitchen, I'm really puzzled by why I had such a hard time figuring out something to have for dinner. 
Like Maria, I'm IBS-D and somewhat stable.
Refrigerator:
acacia in water jug
Lite Bisquick
Silk soy milk
Rice Dream Rice Milk
All Whites Egg Whites
Egg Beaters
Pillsbury Pizza dough (I really like a couple of Heather's pizza but don't make my own dough)
Smart Balance Light (haven't tried it yet)
Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream
Ketchup
Hellman's Light Mayonnaise
Lots and lots and lots of little spice jars
Maple syrup
Baby carrots
Celery (for making HanSolo's sloppy joes; I don't eat it raw)
Tostitos Salsa - Mild!!
Red wine vinegar
Cider vinegar to sour soy/rice milk
Balsamic vinegar

Soy ice cream
Baguettes and French bread
Frozen blueberries (I'm on a muffin kick right now)

Avocado (for guacamole)

Breads I've made (right now, only zucchini, but usually I also have pumpkin apple spice and ADBs)
Pantry:
Rice and Wheat Chex
Corn Pops (just backup now, but I practically lived on them when I first started the diet)
Pretzels
Baked Tostitos
Lots of Rice Select rices: Kasmati, Jasmati, Texmati
Uncle Ben's rice
Egg-free noodles
Lots of pasta in different shapes
Oatmeal
Lots of applesauce
Imagine soups
Lots of chicken broth
Canned tomato products and mushrooms to make spaghetti sauce
Canned tuna
Lots of baking stuff: flour, sugar, powder, soda, etc.
Pam

Fancier (i.e., more expensive) olive oil
Corn flake crumbs
Instant mashed potatoes (to make recipe I'm going to try)

Powdered egg whites
Corn meal (to make Heather's Cornbread)
Potatoes, onions, garlic

that used to be from the baby previously. Now I think it's from the students! LOL, just kidding, I'm only a sub. What do you teach? I'm a sp.ed minor and elementary major. Love it. Can't wait for my own class.

This is fun...I love spying on other people lives!
I'm IBS-A and pretty much stable btw...and I drink soy milk sweetened with concentrated apple juice. Rice milk was too weird for me, but then I've been drinking the same soy milk for about a decade so I'm really accustomed to it!
This is a kinda, just-post-grocery-shopping list, yeah? Cos atm my fridge is very bare. And I'm just doing *my* food, not my DH's bits.
Fridge:
Zucchini.
Mushrooms.
Sweet peppers.
Cucumber.
Avocadoes (for guacamole and eating straight...btw, I'm fine with the fat levels).
Tomatoes.
Houmous.
Fresh fish.
Freezer:
Vege sausages.
Quorn pieces and mince (a meat alternative - TVP is similar to the mince).
Fish cakes (you have to be careful looking for milk products in the shop-bought ones...I'm now fine with a little occasionally).
Breaded fish fillets (ditto on the dairy).
Home made vege soup.
Peas.
Low-fat oven fries (I'm pretty tolerant of fat, but Tesco's Healthy Eating Oven chips are pretty good anyway).
Fruit bowl:
Bramley apples (for making applesauce).
Bananas.
Pears (I'm fine with these ripe).
Lemons (for cooking with).
Pantry:
Tortillas (for making chips and for with fajitas).
Pasta.
Plain noodles.
White rice.
Crackers.
Bread flour.
Plain flour.
Cornstarch.
Sugar (for making ADBs for guests - I'm pretty sugar-free these days...NOT to do with IBS).
Instant oatmeal.
Cornflakes.
Raisins.
Vegan Bouillon powder.
Vegan "cheese" sauce powder.
Cocoa.
Baking powder, etc.
Tinned kidney beans, tomatoes, peaches, pears.
Vegetable soup.
Tomato pasta sauce.
Honey.
PB.
Fajita spices.
Lots of dried herbs, mustard, etc.
Olive oil, Canola oil, Low-fat spray.
Balsamic, Cider apple, White wine and malt vinegars.
Soy milk.
Decaf black tea; Rooibos; Fennel seeds; Chamomile; Vanilla and Honey tea; Dried lavender.
I think that's it....but knowing me I've probably forgotten a cupboard or something!

I buy my soy milk - 8th Continent vanilla and Chocolate too
Smart Balance Light
pretzels
frozen big preztels that you microwave
chicken breast
tuna fish
english toasting bread (I get it from the Wal-Mart bakery section)
light Miracle Whip
potatoes (like for baked potatoes - I microwave them)
avocados - they're great to have a little with my potatoes - things like that
I always have cornmeal, flour, no yolk noodles & eggs on hand. That way I can make any number of staples -- like the cornbread from Eating for IBS - "fried" egg whites on toast (use a non-stick pan and spray or very little oil and then drain it well). There is a wonderful recipe for white sauce in the recipe section that I add cut up chicken breast, noodles, seasonings and veggies to - and I have a great dinner for my family.

Well you can make a white sauce with soy milk and cornstarch...and so make a *creamy* mushroom or veggie one. Sometimes I just finely chop and pan fry in a teeny bit of oil some garlic, zucchini and other veg which go down well with me and mix that with pasta. Or for a lunch or snack, low-fat mayo with some peas or tinned carrots is nice with pasta. Or even just have a tiny bit of olive oil and some garlic salt and herbs.
Heather's butterbut squash pasta sauce is delicious. And you can make all kinds of safe sauces with pureed veg.
