Hi, when I was reading your story I thought you were actually writing about me. We seem to have the exact same condition. I am also about the same hight,weight and age!! I just came back from the health food store with " Ultimate Detox and Cleanse" It is a two week program. I am aslo on " super Cleanse" but it caused constipation instead!!! I do not know whether I should stop using the cleanse while I am on the program. I am also thinking of using BWH along with cloves and fennel seeds. I shall let you know about my results with the " Ultimate Detox Cleanse" since I know how confusing it can be. I suggest you have a cup of warm water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning. It is very stimulating. I really like it. Good luck to you.

i can really only tell you what has worked for me. i would assume that the reason you have thin stools is that the inner walls of your intestines are inflamed and swollen, this would also explain why you feel bloated all the time. the previously suggested fennel tea sounds like a great idea.

you may want to try a cabbage/ginger/apple juice fast, even if only for a day or two. the cabbage is a wonderful healer of the stomach and bowels, and ginger has powerful anti inflammatory agents. of course i am talking about fresh made juice. perhaps try to do that one day a week, and see if that improves. drinking the fennel tea along with the fast would be great. fasting reduces inflammation, i think it would help you out a lot.

i highly suggest doing the mega doses of pancreatine. it really works for me. a bottle only costs $10, so even if it doesn't work you haven't lost out on much.

another thing to think about is doing sheldon's vitamin e enema. he has a protocol that cured him of "incurable" ulcerative colitis. it basically consists of large amounts of vitamin e used in an enema. the vitamin e is an anti inflammatory and reduces swelling, among many other things. that might help you. here is his story. he does post on curezone as "sheldon" i'll see if i can find some of his posts for you.

another thing to try is slippery elm. it helps to heal irritate tissue. its very good for the bowels, and is very gentle, not laxative at all. you can eat as much of it as you like. i now put some in my morning flax seed/probiotic mix.

the bowels are a funny thing, they are touchy, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for all. my experience has been that i had to keep trying different things till i found the ones that really worked for me.

hope some of that helps, let me know if i can be of any more help.
