Keep doing what you are doing. The body goes through a six week cycle and really needs to be pushed into a healthier groove.
60% of your immune system is in the lower intestines. You must keep your bowels moving. Ideally a bm should be 3 times a day, but if one is all you can manage...fine.
Take flax seed, or flax seed oil. Remember, this medicine takes time. Stick with it, stay positive and get to a naturopath.

My friend avoided surgery by drinking a great deal of water, and eating lots a raw carrots for snacks. She switched to whole wheat bread, and had a salad a day.
She did that for about 8 months, then kept the water and carrot regime, but cut salads to once or twice a week, and now she doesn't eat bread at all.
