I would eliminate the Raison Bran. Fruits and veggies are more gentle--and fibrous!--than the Raison Bran. Can you add some berries, perhaps? Smoothies are very energizing and gentle. How about making a soup or stew? I have IBS-D and I eat way more IF (although not on attack days & always with a good SF base)!
Kate, IBS-D.

Carrots, I thought they were high in fructose?
What do they do exactly, should I give them a try?
100 gram of carrots contains 3.6 grams sucrose, 0.6 grams glucose and 0.6 grams fructose. It isn't a high fructose vegetable. Also, they have a reasonably good mix of SF and IF - they are IBS friendly 
However, 100 grams of apples without the skins contains 1 grams of sucrose, 3.3 grams glucose and 6.1 grams fructose. Similarly, 100 grams of pears contains 0.8 grams of sucrose, 2.8 grams glucose and 6.2 grams fructose. Apples and pears are high fructose fruits.

[search for apples or pears]
Also some brands of raisin bran and graham crackers contain HFCS.

Thanks!
I spoke with my nutrionist, he has been advocating for a long time acupuncture and I might go ahead with it.
I can not have the perfect birthroom and stress free life, it is not possible, I need to learn to deal with stuff, and acupuncture might help.
I was recommened to go to an acupuncturist and try this http://yinyanghouse.com/tongren/tongren-classes.html#massachusetts
What do you feel?

A couple of things I have thought of and have been told to me.
1) Try taking both Benefiber and one serving of Citrucell.
2) Move from Benefiber to Acacia
3) Try Tom Tam Healing, http://www.yinyanghouse.com/
and Acupuncture
OR
4) Try the hypnosis tapes
What do you think of these options?
Should I switch up my supplement, and would trying Acupuncture or Hypnosis be a good thing?
Would it be best to do one at a time, and which one should I try to begin?
My doctor also thought about putting me on Lactulose, but that had lactose and I am lactose intolerant.
I also thought about Sienna for a short time.
Thanks.

Hello,
I understand completely. When I was diagnosed with IBS I said "I can't have that - I do everything right, I exercise, I drink water, (Not enough I found out), I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol, I never eat meat, dairy or high fat foods. " All that my speicalst said was "that is a good thing as you would be even worse". I could not have even imagined feeling worse then I had been feeling. Anyway, I understand feeling frustrated with regression. I was sympton free for a very long while and this summer I had an attack and have been trying to stablize ever since. I have not discovered this site and am trying to stabalize with Heather's diet - at least some of they bloating and constipation are diminishing but they are still there at times and I am still having that not emptied feeling.
All I can say is that I totally totally understand and I am now trying not to get upset about it and to just calm down and say "this too shall pass".
You and not alone.
Debbie IBS-C

You need to add more IF to your diet too.
