Fibercon is a very low dose of soluble fiber - you're only getting half a gram per tablet. You might try gradually increasing that to 10 or even 20 or even 30 grams per day, which would be 20 or 40 or 60 capsules. Not practical, obviously, but if you switch to a powder for the fiber you take at home, and just use the caps when you're out, that will let you get a much, much higher dose. Just increase gradually!
Try taking the probiotic every day. It needs that to work, and probiotics really can work.
The tea you're using is not medicinal strength - brew a cup of that brand with at least 3 teabags per 8 oz. water, or switch to a brand that is high volatile oil so you can use less tea and get better results. There can be a world of difference with this.
Since you're already doing these things, making some minor tweaks to them might give you a lot more bang for your buck.
