I don't know if this is the place for "It Gets Better", but my wife was also on the diet, and also found it restrictive and unenjoyable, but found a noticeable difference in her symptoms. One important point is that it is not meant to be a lifelong diet; it is meant to provide a 'reset' on which a future satisfactory baseline, with lower FODMAPs (especially in areas of discovered sensitivity) but not none, can be built. She has found much more success managing her symptoms since then. (One example discovery: a previous lactose-intolerance test had totally failed to catch her severe lactose intolerance.)
