I have IBS-D. I started a SFS and after 4 tries found one that formed my bowels...the problem is, I am still going to the bathroom about 8- 10 times a day. Any advice?

What dose are you at? Maybe you need to up it?

That is only a little over 2 grams of fiber a day, so you may want to up it. You can go slow. Maybe make one of your doses 1 1/2 tsp for a few days, then 2 doses 1 1/2 tsp, etc. Have you ever tried a calcium supplement? I take Caltrate +D (generic version) and it helps with the urgency for me. Well, did. I don't really have it any more.
