You sound like I did a few years ago--lost fifteen pounds trying to live on rice cakes, peanut butter and baked potatoes. I took every kind of fiber on the market, and was still constipated. You should see about some drugs, even if it's just to help you get back to work and get your system in line. Miralax is a godsend for C--it worked for me when no amount of fiber would, but you have to see a GI and get it prescribed. Elavil, an older class of antidepressant, has also been helpful for the cramps.

If you have a GI doc that's only telling you to take more fiber and relax, find another one. If you live within driving distance of a medical school, there are usually folks there who are more knowledgeable than the average GI doc.

Don't give up--keep looking and trying things--and start reading labels!
