I don't know what to do, I am completely at my wit's end.

I go to the bathroom every day, but it's always incomplete. Thus, I am SUPER bloated every day. I'm not usually gassy, just have a very distended abdomen.

I've been following the diet, taking a fiber supplement, probiotics, and peppermint tea, but I'm just finding myself more and more and more bloated with no relief. I've put on a bunch of weight since I started following the diet hardcore (this may be due partially to a poop backup).

Today I went on a binge and ate a bunch of high IF foods, because I'm just so desperate for a good BM. I'm still super bloated, but unfortunately still don't feel anything moving.

My GI doc said to eat a high fiber diet (Fiber One cereal, salads, etc.). My colo-rectal doctor suggested trying a low-residue diet.

What do I do when neither one works for me??????? I'm literally bloated every single day - I'm honestly at the point where I've contemplated suicide more than once, because I just can't keep living like this...
