I had terrible trouble with bloating when I first started adding the fiber supplement, but thank goodness it has settled down. Different foods can cause it. (I know the insoluble fiber in beans, fruits and veggies can, and Metamucil can do me in.) There were some promising posts awhile back about charcoal tabs, and I think I recall someone saying that burnt toast works as well. I ment to buy some and try them out, but my gas settled down and I never picked any up. You could try taking some before a meal and see if it helps...
Good luck, it sure isn't fun being bloated.

I am with you on drinking water to get rid of toxins! I do have trouble getting enough water during the day, 8 glasses seems like so much, and sometimes I feel like I have to choke it down even when I'm not thirsty. I know it's important though, and it is getting easier! I did feel a little bloated and sloshy at first, but my body has been handling it better now.
Now I just need to work on bladder excercises... This diet has helped me stop running to the bathroom for D all the time, now I run there to P!

I have been following the tips that Heather gives us. Always make certain we have fiber in our stomachs before eating anything unless it is ofcourse chalked full of soluble fiber. I take 1 Fibercon pill in the middle of the day when I know I will be eating my lunch at work. I get home in the evening and I take some Metamucil before eating my dinner. I find that this virtually causes my bloating and gas to disappear, if we stay away from our trigger foods the gas should not be as prevalent, but IBS is unpredictable.

H2,
Soon your body will be rid of all the water weight it has been storing and you won't run to the bathroom so frequently to P. When I first started drinking water I was always in the bathroom. But slowly I worked into my old P schedule. LOL

I am yet another one of us "lucky ones" suffering incredible bloating!
I find I get such a terrible pain with it which is in my stomach and also my lower back. It's almost like a pressure building that's going to explode. For that reason I think it's trapped gas in the intestines. Does anyone else get that? I have it really bad right now.

Kerrie, I'm so sorry! (((HUGS))) Yes, I get that too...2 out of 3 times I eat! For me it usually is trapped gas...nowadays when this happens, I go for a LONG walk and work it out. I try to do the walk before it gets back to "outsmart it"  I know that's hard with kids...but maybe if you just walk around the kitchen or something, pace back and forth, the second you finish eating that will help. I hope so!
Happy Friday!

I have been having gas like crazy the last couple days. I don't have diarrhea much but I had it pretty much all week because I was taking a medication that was giving me diarrhea and nausea, and needless to say, I had to quit taking the medication. My left side hurts and the gas is coming out and I have taken 2 charcoal tablets this morning, and I plan on taking another one after I eat. As long as the gas is pushing out, it will eventually go away, right?
