I read your post with trepidation because I think my problem is similar. Only diff is, I can afford to lose extra weight since I was over 300 when I first adopted the IBS eating plan combined with exercise.
Before I found Heather's book, I suspected but did not KNOW that what I was eating was giving me the severe IBS-D attacks I'd had all my life, since age 16. I kept trying to figure out what if anything, I ate was doing it.
But when I got heather's book, it all came together in my mind. Thing is, now I have a genuine fear of food. Since almost anything at the wrong time can trigger IBS, I developed a fear of food, often convincing myself I am not hungry or dont need to eat. My personal trainer ordered me to set a timer and eat what he tells me to, at the time the ringer goes off. That's how bad it is for me. He told me to make a list of the safest IBS foods, and eat only those until I can feel safe with other stuff.
I wish you the best, because I know just what you're going through ((((HUGS!))))
