Hi Kandee,
I have serious IBS-C, and my bloating is incredibly bad. At it's worst, I've grown NINE inches on my waistline. I seriously looked like I was about to give birth! I was actually put on a feeding tube for a month because I was unable to eat due to the severe pain...but the bloating did not go away. Of course, the liquid food they put me on had sugar and TONS of fiber in it, so that probably didn't help. Eating lots of rice and mild foods helps me greatly. I stick to a strict diet and find that's what helps the most. Acacia started causing too much bloating and gas for me, so I'm sticking with flaxseed to stay regular. I take 3 Tbsp a day and it seems to work alright. I'm going to start taking ginger, potassium, and vitamin B supplements, which should help as well. Prunes, as nasty as they are, are known to help with constipation, and I'm going to experiment with eating them this weekend to see if they are a better solution to constipation.
My heart goes out to you. I have had to change clothes up to four times a day just to be comfortable according to my growing abdomen throughout the day. It's miserable, but with flaxseed, diet, and regular exercise, I've found some help.
