I think all of us have done it to some extent. While I haven't had the problems you've had, and I haven't tried nearly as many supplements as you have, I did waste about $30 trying to find the SFS that was going to work for me, and another $30 on probiotics that I never took because I was afraid, another $10 on digestive enzymes that didn't do anything, and let's not even get into the amount of money wasted on specialty foods that ended up in the trash. Thankfully, I only pay a copay for prescriptions, because there's also those untouched (because I was afraid!) Bentyl and Phenergan in the cabinet.
Sweetie, I think I owe you another email, once I'm a little more awake (I just rolled out of bed, heh).
Beth, hang in there, ok? You will find relief for this, I know you will. *hugs*
