I'm so sorry you are not finding relief. I am also C, and I have never applied Heather's diet in the strict sense, only the principles of the diet - starting off with some SFS, limiting fat, red meat and other knows trigger foods, trying to limit/manage stress. I began adding supplements one at a time over almost a year, because your body simply cannot handle an abrupt adjustment to lots of new stuff be it medicines or supplements.
Over the past year, I am much better. I am not "cured" because there is no such thing. However, if I stay with the Acacia (for me, I'm best at 2t before each meal) I later added a 2:1 cal/mag supplement...got a little better. And, as you know, only recently added probiotics and digestive enzymes.
Listen to your body. If you are truly sick with something other than IBS, keep looking. However, if your insides are clear, and it is IBS, the stress of trying so hard to resolve it WILL make you sicker. Been there, done that. Please don't give up. But please give yourself some breathing room. This mess takes time and lots of it. I know that isn't much help, but you can't lose hope. Hang in there!
