Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about - I told you so much about myself just so you would know you are not the only one - it can be a pretty lonely place.
I hope you succeed and I definitely did not mean to discourage you from doing it this way, just in case it came across like that - my way probably took about ten or twelve years, so anything that gives you back your life quicker than that has to be worth trying! And, yes, it can definitely be beaten and doesn't have to mean never eating those foods again (provided they are IBS-safe of course) I do now eat sugar, for example, but in reasonable quantities and without triggering cravings.
On a practical note, one of the things that has helped me is eating enough protein, which I didn't used to do. Also keeping fat levels low - even now almost the only times I get the craving for chocolate is if I have eaten something with a bit too much fat earlier. This may not be the same for you, but I just thought I'd mention it.
Best wishes,
Josephine
