Technically, game meats are still a big no-no, because they are red meat, which is a lot harder to digest. That said, because it's so incredibly low in fat, I've been able to eat reasonable portions of venison without any problems.
If you decide to get brave and try it, there's a couple things you can do to make it a little easier. Avoid stews - which typically have a fairly fatty gravy, and use tougher cuts of meat - stick with the tender cuts, if you can, and make sure you have a good soluble fiber source with it. Don't go overboard, especially at first, and if you're having a bad IBS day, you're better off sticking with the safest foods and skip the venison till you're feeling better.
As for the apples, all I can say is that I had a similar problem for YEARS, and then one day - after following the diet for a year or so - it just all went away. I still can't handle apple juice/cider, but I eat a raw apple, skin and all, every single day. It's possible that you won't be able to eat apples at all. It's also possible that you'll be able to eat them eventually. IBS affects everyone differently - I'm sure other people who can't eat apples will chime in, but even if they don't, your problem is nothing unusual for those with IBS.
Hope that helps!
