IBS-C
A few yrs ago I found this site and the advice plus the teas and soluble fiber has really changed my life. Recently I have become constipated again and cannot seem to get regulated-dealing with constipation and bloating. Its frustrating especially in light of how good things were going. I am having bm's just nothing like I was, it seems my whole schedule has been thrown off. The problem is I do not know what I did. This happened once before but that time it was obvious because I had relapsed on Cokes Coffee and just about everything else. This time is different, everything was going great, no bloating, no constipation, and then boom everything changed. The only things that I ate that I dont normally eat are strawberries cut up real small and not too many. I ate them with apple sauce. I also drank some apple juice for a couple nights. And I ate out one night chicken fajita with some cooked veggies (onions and bell peppers). It was greasy but I can usually handle some or if not I usually have a bad day or too but correct. I have gotten a little better over the past 10 days but still struggling. Looking for advice?? I seem to be having a hard time with insoluble fiber. In the past what I would do is take the acacia (7 teaspoons a day) and balance out and then slowly add some metamucil about a 1/2 a teaspoon twice a day.
