Two thoughts.....first
this probiotic really did work for me. I did find it at Walgreens. In 3 days I had good bowel movements. I discontinued it recently though as it seemed to make me agitated (may be histamine related).
You might want to consider the Fast Tract Diet. It is possible to do it on a vegan diet. See Chuck's review on
this page. You may be getting too much of the wrong kind of fiber which may be feeding bacteria that is causing your issue..... There is an IBS book for Fast Tract Diet....not sure how it differs from Heartburn book.....it may be very similar....
Read the reviews on Amazon for the probiotic I mentioned. Lots of people cite relief from constipation and I know it helped me. If I try it again, I will likely try
the drops instead of the chewable tablets so I can get rid of the xylitol.
Currently I am trying the Jarrow EPS, which seems to also have wonderful reviews. I can say that all the other probiotics I've tried (except possibly Culturelle) made me more constipated!!! (I will also retry Culturelle at some point in time if the Jarrow or Biogaia doesn't work....
Wishing you an "easy" day soon.
Keep us posted.
Best,
