About a year and a half before I was diagnosed with IBS, I had severe constipation problems and was told to take fiber pills. After taking them my C got better but they gave me severe D. I now take fiber wafers and I don't understand why those don't bother me but pills do. Any ideas?

P.S. I'm new here, diagnosed about a month and a half ago.

Welcome Jess!
Different people react differently to different fiber supplements. (Wow,was that redundant enough for you?!)
What kind were you taking? You might want to take a look at one of the sticky posts at the top of the list about fiber supplements and dosage. Lotta good info there.

Good luck and keep coming back!

I was taking basic fibercon pills. I only took one, and that was all it took.

Wow, that's pretty dramatic! I don't know. Maybe someone else can help you out here.

Anybody??
