First, welcome!! So glad you found us, it's a great site.
You certainly seem to be doing all the right things and 6 months is certainly a good amount of time to get stable. But you HAVE to take a soluble fiber supplement (SFS). IMHO, there's just no way you or any of my other friends here on the board are going to get stable and stay stable unless they do. I really disagree with the posts that suggest otherwise. If one SFS doesn't agree with you, find another, until you find one that works for you. There is no miracle to get rid of bloat. The things you're doing are fantastic and more than some of the long time people here, so you're way ahead of them. And yes, your doctor is right that you need to include INSOLUBLE fiber foods like fruits, veggies and whole grain breads to stay healthy. But you also need an SFS because it's virtually impossible to get enough soluble fiber just from eating soluble fiber foods. Go re-read Heather's writeup about it.
The only other thing I can suggest is I take two extra strength Gas-X (simethicone) every morning when I first get up. I know you don't have gas, but it works on bloat too. For me it was the final piece of the puzzle and now I've been D free, gas free and bloat free for over 7 months! If I can do it, you can do it. PS I hate fennel tea too so it is possible to conquer bloat with out it. On the other hand it helps so much that Han Solo's suggestion to hold your nose while you drink it is worth considering!!
Let us know how it goes and keep coming back, okay??
