I think you need to try to start getting some other foods into you- That doesn't sound very healthy. As for knowing if something is working- I don't know myself. I eat what I should, I take SFS and I still have pain/discomfort so I am somewhat in the same boat. I am frustrated myself- I am not social anymore- I don't want to go out with my friends- I used to go out to eat with my husband at least 2ce a week- I haven't been in a restaraunt in over a year. And I miss it- Then I worry that my husband will get bored with me because I am so "down"- which brings on the depression etc.. It is a vicious cycle.
