Are you following the EFI diet with FODMAP restrictions?
I basically have only about 25 food items on the list what I eat but lead a normal life otherwise. My main problem has been not being able to eat out/ dinner parties are no fun for me, but apart from that a very restrictive diet withno alcohol or caffeine, no dairy, little IF, careful calculating of food's fat content and limiting it to the minimum alongside not eating FODMAP unfriendly foods makes me function like a normal individual. Have you tried eating like this? Has it not helped?
But I do sympathise, I very much care about others' opinions and have often felt not just embarrassed or frustrated but even ashamed to have IBS.
