Thanks. I wanted to add, what about onions, lettace, mayonnaise, tomatoe sauce, terikyake sauce, steak sauce, and shakes?
Some people can handle onions, some can't. Lettuce I think Steph covered in the answer on salads. Mayo is a trigger because it's high in fat and it has egg yolks. You might be able to handle low fat mayo or you may have to go to non-fat or even soy based. Again, it depends. A lot of people have trouble with tomatoes sauce, although I don't. Again, you won't really know until you get stabilized (i.e., off all possible triggers for a while) and then start adding stuff back in.

Sauces: read the label. Dangers are HFCS, MSG, whey, casein. You may be able to tolerate one or more of these in small amounts.

Shakes: assuming you mean milkshakes, no - dairy. If you mean stuff you shake on for seasoning, you can eat that, but check for MSG and dairy derivatives (whey, casien).

I read that mayonnaise is a trigger, so when I go to order a sandwich I know I should avoid this. See notes on mayo, above. Try mustard, although until you stabilize that might be an irritant.
I know that when I eat tomatoe sauce on pasta I get bloated and have awful gas, is that common with Irritable Bowel Syndrome to have problems with sauce?See notes on tomato sauce, above.

What about post workout shakes? I know I can't have protein whey, but I need something I can mix in with carbs. I used to make whey protein and oatmeal, but now I can't have any of these, what can I subsitute for this, both whey and oatmeal for a nutriton shake and meal replacement?
Don't know, but do a search on "protein shake soy". There was a thread not too long ago about this. I think it was in response to some of BadlyDrawnBoy's posts, so you can look for his posts if you can't find it another way.
