But the IF would help stop it from being so incomplete? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Bulk       #288314 - 10/29/06 07:22 AM Edit Reply Quote K2 Reged: 01/29/06 Posts: 1191 Loc: Canada Loose D before, and not as complete.

Maybe it would constipate us if we don't increase IF too, then??? If you find anything that helps, please post! Does it get "firmer" as you increase your acacia? How much are you up to now? Still happy with it? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Are you doing anything to "bulk" it up?       #288488 - 10/30/06 05:04 PM Edit Reply Quote Lisa Marie Reged: 07/17/06 Posts: 1566 Loc: Lakewood, CO I'm up to almost 3 teaspoons per day. Very little gas and bloating anymore, which is great!! BMs are still a little loose and messy, but I know that's due to the NC. I think once I reduce that more, it will help. I'm going to try only taking 2 teaspoons of NC tonight and see what happens in the morning! I just don't think I could eat MORE each day than I already do! If I ate more SF, I'd have to decrease IF so as to not increase my calorie intake. I'd much rather just decrease the NC and see if that helps. How are you doing? -------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa, IBS-C (Vegan) Stable since July 2007!

I think I'll stay at this level for awhile - especially since I had to break down and take ibuprofen today! that stuff always gives me C... -------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lisa, IBS-C (Vegan) Stable since July 2007!

Yesterday, I did well...today, not so good, I can tell. I am still taking Miralax. I think I do better with Miralax than the Natural Calm. I've also reduced my Acacia a few grams. Maybe my body just can't handle too much SFS without getting more constipate. This is so hard to balance everything out. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Looks like your on the right path       #288661 - 11/01/06 11:03 AM Edit Reply Quote Jeio Reged: 09/28/06 Posts: 482 OK, good, whatever works, dear Let us know how it goes with Miralax.

Finding a balance is SO hard... try not to change too many things at once and keep with it! It will all work out in the end...
