Hello KrazyKitten,
When you say recently, how recently? Unfortunately it will take a little time for the effects of a more healthier lifestyle to become apparent. The other posts are correct, too much fibre can be detremental and it also depends on whether you're getting a good balance of Soluble and In-soluble fibre, do a little search on the net to find out more about that, just make sure the source is reliable.
In my opinion colon cleansing is a bit invasive but that's just my opinion, I would give your new lifestyle a chance to work first before thinking about colon cleansing. Also, if you're doctor won't do anything for you, why not look up a local nutritional advisor, they will be able to determine where the problem is.
All I can say is that if you continue with your healthier lifestyle you will notice the changes, it is frustrating when it doesn't happen faster but it will happen, you just have to percevere
