But firstly, make sure you deal with any depression, okay? Whether it's meds, counselling or hypno that helps, get it done. I was amazed at how much better I could cope with my IBS after I started on a-d's. 
And it gets easier! Your gut will take time to acclimatise and even longer to stabilise, but it is so worth it! Do not worry, you will NOT be eating white rice for the rest of your life.  In fact, don't eat just sf for more than 3 days. Try out some safe recipes from the recipe index or Heather's books and get cooking.
ADBs and Heather's Cinnamon Zucchini Bread are my top tips for completely yummy comfort food that is completely safe! Don't eat onl;y them tho as you might gain too much weight like I did!
IBS-safe food is yummy and healthy. And once you've stabilised you can work out your own personal quirks and push the boundaries a bit. As long as I don't overdo it and I listen to my bod, I can have chocolate, coffee (very occasionally), some dairy (mmmm, pizza ), wholewheat bread and even little salads as treats. My diet is FAR from boring.
Just stick with the IBS diet 100% until your stable and it'll happen quicker.
