Re: Michelle, about the SFS...       03/14/06 11:44 AM Edit Reply Quote Johnny T. Reb Reged: 07/09/05 Posts: 987 Loc: Lake Linden, Mich in the U.P. IBS-C Hi Michele, SFS can prevent cramping to some degree, but it does not keep the stool formed or forms it up, actually IF does that. IF plays the role of a binding agent in stool formation which is why it is so critical for C's to consume as much of it as they can. What SF does, in addition to acting as a gut calmer as Heather has pointed out, is that it incre- ases the water content of the stool which softens it, and enables large stools to pass easily through a small anal sphincter. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
