Welcome to the boards - My heart goes out to you in that you are suffering so...
Just in reading some of what you have shared, a lot of these things are not IBS alone as you know - IBS usually does not result in such a weight loss as yours - I am a bit concerned for you - and also waking with symptoms. Since you are already following a strict diet and have lost so much weight, and have so many difficult symptoms, as well as gallstones and IC, much more is going on than 'just' IBS - you certainly may have IBS in addition to these other conditions, and when that is the case the IBS is so much harder to address.
You do need to list all of your concerns and outline this with your doctor - if he/she does not explain it fully, then you need to get a new one.
Even if a particular diet may or may not help, it would be unconscionable to suggest anything to you via cyberspace given all the many things you have mentioned here. Each symptom you mention could be from any number of conditions as well as IBS and it would be hard to sort one from the other.
If you would like to speak with me about this, you can call 877-898-2539 as I provide free patient support and speak with IBS patients quite a bit - but - this is not a replacement for care from a professional medical physician. We can share insights here, but I do feel that you need more than what can be provided via cyberspace. That being said, there is hope, the diet suggested here is safe, tho you are already on one that is restricted re your gallstones, so anything your doctor suggests would be best for your specific conditions as we don't see your tests, lab results, etc.
So if you do want to talk to someone, you have my number - just for some possible insights and some TLC. I too know the feeling of crying and feeling utter despair from IBS and health issues... Take care.
