You might want to take a look at all the "sticky" notes at the top of the board - Heather addresses a lot of your health concerns with this diet. Note that while we all talk a lot about brownies and cakes, it's mainly because most sweet treats are not IBS-safe and we're very grateful for recipes that won't make us sick. There are loads of recipes with safe fruits and veggies, and if you can tolerate whole grains you should eat those as well.
Since my husband was just diagnosed with diabetes, I can tell you with confidence that refined carbs do not cause diabetes. The not being able to eat refined carbs is a symptom, not a cause. As a matter of fact, he can even eat those if he gets enough exercise!
There are lots of safe foods out there that aren't breads and pastas. Applesauce, mangos, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes are all very healthy and very safe. Finely chopped or ground nuts and cooked fruits and veggies are also good choices.
