Well, if it's any consolation, I've always been primarily a D, and it's had no bearing on my weight whatsoever. I've been as heavy as 270lbs while still having severe D. The only health issue that's ever affected my weight was my VERY severe anxiety... I've gone through 3 or 4 periods of my life where I've been anorexic because of panic, most recently being last summer. I dropped from 160lbs to 100lbs. Now I'm back up to about 140... a good 25 heavier than when my picture was taken. 
Anyway, antidepressants can indeed cause weight gain. As for your diet, starchy food is good for you, but the kinds of starchy foods (sweets vs. good carbs like potatoes) and the amount you eat is obviously going to affect your weight. You CAN control your meals. It just takes time, patience, and desire.
The Fitness board is a great place to hang out if you're serious about wanting to lose some weight while still following the IBS diet guidelines. Our wonderful Shell Marr has lost oodles of weight and is still losing... and is quite the inspiration!  (PS - If I remember correctly, she's a C'er too, but I could be wrong...)
