I'm a C also. I've been on Heather's diet for - I think a couple of months now and I've been taking Acacia for that long also. I have found that there have been times - usually no more than a week or so at a time - when I feel better and actually go to the bathroom every day. That's when I feel great and hope that it continues on. I do find though that from time to time (like right now ) I can go days without going to the bathroom.
The food diary helps me try to figure out what is going wrong. All of Astrochicks suggestions are great. I sometimes neglect my insoluble fibre and I think that's a classic difficulty with C. I'm thinking though that you have to find the right balance of insoluble fibre because sometimes I've found that too much makes it worse.
Anyhow - sorry to ramble. Good luck and keep posting questions. This site is a great place to get support!
