dlondon, I can absolutely relate to what you're going through. Been there done everything you mentioned and alas, I've finally found something that has given me my life back!! Now I can eat and drink pretty much anything I want (with a few items that I'm still just too afraid to try). The only thing I've been doing for the past 2 months is taking a probiotic called Udo's Choice super bifido plus. I took 3 pills per day for the first month and noticed improvement within 2 days, by the 2nd week I became a 1 to 2 BM per/day kind of gal (like clockwork). I'm currently taking 2 pills/day and will continue on that dosage for 1 month, then I plan to drop it to 1 pill/day. This is actually my 2nd time taking this particular probiotic. I started it back in Dec. or Jan and took it for 1 month (noticed big improvement), but it's spendy so then I tried Align and was back to the same old problems so I then got back on Udo's.
Prior to taking Udo's, I was having 8 BM/day (typically in a 2 hour period) 3 to 5 days/week. After starting Heather's diet, this dropped down to 2 to 3 days/week then I was constipated the rest of the time. It was seriously affecting my work b/c I have to attend meetings etc. and was constantly having to get up and go - my supervisor was not impressed! As for social life, I made NO plans for anything b/c I never knew how I would feel. Work and home - that was my life. I've taken 2 trips in the past 2 months and am planning a 3rd in a couple of weeks. I make it work everyday, and can attend 2 hour meetings without having to run out of the room.
You can purchase this online and they'll ship it to you on ice: http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=3705630389853301316&at=0
I hope you'll give it a whirl, and wish you the best of luck!!
