Welcome, and the first thing I would do is cut out those 8 cups of coffee per day. That can't be good, IBS or not. Another thing you can do is scan this website and check out all the links and info on how to start out on Heather's diet.
This website is full of info for you to follow until you get your books.
One word of caution. Since you are new to the site and maybe a bit confused about what to do to help your condition, please stick with Heather's diet until you start to feel better. Don't let others try to steer you to other approaches and diets, and further confuse you. This is what Heather wants to happen here.
After you become stable, maybe then you can experiment.
