Andrew - I hear your frustration. I am IBS-C and became completely dependent on laxatives to have a BM. My Dr. finally gave me Miralax to take instead of relying on M.O.M. & enemas. I first started on Heather's Diet & Acacia back in August, 2006. As I Sloooowly increased the Acacia & IF, I slooowly decreased the Miralax dosage. It took a good 6 months to get the right balance between the SF & IF. The SF bulked up my BM & the IF keeps it moving through my digestive tract. I also exercise every day. I still have pain from gas & bloating, but I have a BM every morning. And I no longer take the Miralax.
One month is NOT enough time on the diet, you don't say what your IF intake is, and you don't say whether or not you exercise  Also,stress is a major factor with constipation.
I know it is very hard to be patient, but it is so worth it in the long run. As my Dr. told me -"It took time for your body to get in the shape it is in, and it will take time for your body to get better."
Maybe if you listed a sample day's meal plan. Everyone could help you with suggestions.
