Sorry, You are right. The website I went on was wrong or I just read it wrong. I did another search to find out that is correct. I never bought Beano so I did not have the bottle ingredients in front of me. I have been using caraway/peppermint oil called Regimint and I dont think I will need the Beano yet. I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.

Kat, you said that at one point you think your gas was building up to eventually cause d. I never thought about that. You know, it's weird but I guess b/c I'm predominantly d, I don't usually have a lot of gas...as long as everything comes out, the gas does too. However, in the past few weeks, I have had gas which is unusual for me. I'm wondering if my body got used to not having as much IF and now that I'm adding it back in, it's not used to it? Anyhow, I just bought some Beano and took some tonight before my rice and vegetables. Do you really think that the Beano in an indirect way can head off d? I thought that concept was intersting and just wanted to be sure I understood you clearly. (Or is it possible that my Acacia amount is too high? It's quite low compared to most I think: 3 1/2 tsp/day. Or now I'm wondering if it's soy...but I haven't added any more soy in the last few weeks. Actually, I switched from soy milk to rice milk. Hmmm.) Thanks.

It took me a while to figure out the connection between the gas and D. I didn't really have gas in that I was passing gas, like you said it all comes out with the D. But I noticed a bit of bloating and just 'off' feeling. And this feeling would build up during the day.
I definetly know the gas was causing my D. This makes sense since having gas causes some discomfort to the digestive system, and for me, anytime my digestive system is not completely calm, I get D.
I wouldn't think your Acacia is too high. If you make sure you're increasing slowly then you should be fine. I definetly found that adding in a lot of IF and soy caused my gas. I'm not sure if this was because my body wasn't used to it or not. Before being stable I probably had gas from the IF I was eating, but it always resulted in D anyway so I can't really compare. I did try and add IF in very slowly though, and that helped too.

No, I was eating this alone as a snack.
I figuered 1 gram of dietary fiber, which could be IF or SF, would not be problematic.

I'm not sure what's going on with me. It seems so hard to identify every single little thing between diet and stress, etc. I took some Beano last night before eating a mixture of broccoli and carrots with white rice and chicken. No problems but some discomfort this morning like you said...now I am C. I would have thought the amount of veggies I ate last night would make me go this morning. I can't figure it out. I'm drinking a blueberry smoothie right now as I type hoping it will help me go but not send things into overdrive. I keep forgetting to drink a lot of water too so I'd better go do that (and I always remember your sit-up suggestion).
I really think my stress level plays a big part b/c ironically I was not stressed yesterday or today and my belly feels pretty calm. Although, I did go out on an adventure with my kids this morning without any anxiety. It could have been a disaster even if I just needed to have a bm, never mind d, b/c we were on the road. I don't know what to think. I can't wait till the hypno tapes come in. How are you doing with that? I know you just started..do you feel any different? Also, I was wondering if you eat anything with whole wheat in it as IF (ie., bread, cereal)? I know Heather lists it as IF but it seems like a lot of D people avoid it altogether based on many of the posts I've read. Thanks.

The hypno tapes I've been putting off on discussing for a while on the boards. I've been through a few stressful weeks, haven't been good about sticking to the listening schedule, and really haven't put my best effort into it. I think this round of hypno tapes will be my first, I'll try to finish them as best I can but I don't think they will help me this time. I have already started learning how to think a bit differently so I guess it has helped somewhat. I do think that I will do the tapes a second time around, and really put all my energy into that. I've just always had this IBS mentality and it's hard to let myself think differently about it.
As for IF, I avoid whole grains like the plague LOL. I never eat whole wheat, multigrain breads, or whole grain cereals. They're just too hard on my stomach. I do fine with oatmeal, and I haven't tried brown rice. Some say brown rice is the easiest IF to manage.
Just wondering, do you consider yourself C if you don't go one day? To me, I don't know if I'd really think of that as C, in terms of being worried about it I mean. If I go a day without a BM it's just because my stomach is calm, and doesn't need to 'go'. After a few days obviously I'll start doing things to try and go.

I never look at the fiber content on nutrition labels - basically it doesn't tell you much. The major issue here is that whole grains are the first ingredient in this product. I definitely would not eat this without a good SF base first.

Yeah, I hope that I'll be able to follow through on the tapes too b/c it seems like that is necessary to get the full effect. You seem very aware of your IBS, so hopefully when you put full time into the tapes, you'll really get a positive outcome.
And yes, I realize that not going one day is not C, but it's after two days that I start to worry. I call it C I guess for me b/c I'm usually d or at least go daily if not multiple times/day. It seems odd how last week I was going so much and now not at all for a few days. I know that definition that everyone points out (about what's normal...could be 3 times/day or 3 times/week)...it's just that I have that same mentality you mentioned about IBS, and I just worry that when I do eventually go, it will be d. Maybe I should remember that I am on the EFI diet now and with the Acacia there is a less chance of that happening? I guess I worry too that stress will cause me to have d if I have "more in my body to get rid of" if that makes sense. We are going on a trip Thursday so I want to stay as stable as possible this week and "going" each day would make me feel so much better...that there won't be so much in me if I get nervous and send myself into d Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Do you know what I mean? I so wish that my mind just didn't even think about it!
