Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Nausea while taking Heather's Tummy Fiber

Yes, Heather's Tummy Tamers (I call them peppermint+ caps because they include some fennel and ginger oils). Use to have intense gripping pain below the navel that use to last all day every day except while sleeping years ago before the diet, then ceased for the most part after the caps, yippy!

I was thinking I forgot to mention, I do only 1/4C of protein, due to soluble fiber foods filling me up more and too much protein gives me BAD upper GI pain. There is protein in wheat bread, wheat pasta....so 1/4C is plenty;But, if using rice, ya really have to be careful, because the fiber is very low and too much protein has really caused me problems. I add protein powder to the low protein milk substitutes = 8g total protein/cup. If you drink enough water throughout the day total (I only drink 1/2C w meals), it can keep things at a proper pace that the soluble fiber needs to move through like around 6-8C/day;BUT, ibs-c can need alot more and can get away with a little more insoluble fiber than we ibs-d. It's all a balance..;) Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Ditto

Happier times ahead.
