Sorry, it wasn't my intention to make you cry. If you were dx with IBS, then you do have to find a way to live with it. We all do the best we can. My point to you was, in your posts you seemed so obsessed and chaotic. It's ok to research and ask for help and info, but the answers don't come from without, but from within. We are all tired of it, but it is the hand we were dealt. You say you will try so hard to feel better. Maybe you are trying to hard.
I doubt I will find those posts from Heather, but I remember her saying she has not needed the FODMAP approach. That doesn't mean it is not helpful and useful for some. She also said she would prefer the boards to get back to her diet, or something like that. So what I think she means is stick to her EFI diet first, use that as a starting point, then if you feel you need to try the FODMAP then do so, but at least get the basics down first.
I think it would benefit you to try not to dwell so much on IBS. Take a break and ease up a bit if you can. Don't fret about everything you put into your mouth. Keep a food journal, and see if you can determine what is best for you to eat. And by all means, find some mode of relaxation.
I hope this helps.
