Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Welcome to the board,

What you describe sounds like IBS. Presumably this is the diagnosis your doctor gave you.

Have you tried following Heather's Eating for IBS diet especially increasing soluble fiber foods and decreasing insoluble fiber foods? Equalactin is a soluble fiber supplement. However, when you say you take fiber pills. What fiber pills are you taking?

I too have pain in the right quadrant likely from gas production in the ascending colon. Beside following Heather's diet I also reduce the gas using another clinically tested dietary approach. You can read about it in the first three links in my signature. I and others use it in conjunction with Heather's diet quite successfully.

You will likely get more and quicker responses if you post questions like yours on the IBS Diet board.
