Aperson, thank you. We'll both find our way back to normality, I'm sure. It's a challenging journey, but it makes us so much stronger.
I've been struggling with incomplete evacuation just like you for months and months. Regardless of the cause or causes, I think a fiber supplement is our best answer right now. Do you have Heather's IBS book called The First Year? There's a section in there that makes a lot of sense about how acacia (or other soluble fiber supplements) helps your colon grab onto and completely evacuate stool. I've been trying acacia for about a week now, very slowly, just a 1/4 tsp twice a day for awhile, and now 1/2 tsp twice a day, and already I am noticing even more improvement. I have had a couple days I knew I didn't empty myself properly, but it didn't make me miserable like it usually does, and I've had some mornings where I do feel properly empty. 
I know where you're coming from when you talk about not caring to put makeup on, etc, believe me! But I've found that sometimes, when I'm not feeling good, if I keep persistently acting like I'm okay, and keep telling myself I will be okay and start feeling better soon, and put makeup on and take pride in the way I look, it does help.
Keep telling yourself you are on the right track... stay positive and optimistic... it helps.
