Chelsea, 1.0 is the ratio of grams of SF to grams of IF, in
other words you eat equal amounts of SF and IF. But for C
you should try to get more IF though. -Bob

I tried running instead of walking and my knees gave out on me. But, the walking isn't cutting it for the BMs.
Any suggestions on high intensity exercises that aren't hard on the knees?
Have you tried walking really fast? Biking? Weight lifting? Pretty much anything that will get you sweaty might tip you over the edge. (The fitness forum might have some more ideas for you, too.)

Cramping isnt even a worry of mine, as it rarely EVER happens. Its just the gas and bloating  What would you say a safe SF to IF ratio would be?
I think you have to experiment on your own. I think gas and bloating have more to do with getting enough fluids (particularly our friends peppermint & fennel tea) than IF, at least in my case. Try a small slice of bread followed by a pear (or half a pear) and see how that works. If the pear is peeled, you might not even need any additional SF.
The only way I found my own personal tolerances was to keep cranking up the IF gradually but steadily. Making sure it's in every meal continues to help me!

Oh, Dear. I'm so sorry for what you're going through; tough enough being 19 without this to cope with!
Regarding BANANAS! I use these to help stop my D! Seizes me up like a cork! I just wonder if that could be one of your culprits! If I had one every day, even being a D, I'm sure I'd be a C in no time!
Just a suggestion from a new gal, but ditch the bananas and see what happens.
Good luck and believe me, I know how confusing all this is; I've lurked for a while and tried to make some sense of it all, but even now those short forms people rattle off I still have to look up!
We'll get thru this, no worries. But bananas?! Ditch 'em! I'm a D and they constipate me!
Good luck...

Can you, yourself, eat the fruits with tougher skins, like apples or pears, unpeeled?
Do you eat an acutal SF Food before the IF....or is taking an SFS supplement beforehand safe enough.
Thanks for any help.

Bananas constipate you? Huh. Interesting. They either do nothing to me OR they make me go.

I thought this was a myth. 
Do other C people refrain from eating bananas?

I started out as a D. I'm pretty stable now, but I'm an A with a little more D than C.

but remember, there can be 30 eating the same banana's...at the same time...same day of the week...and have 30 different reactions to them. 
Oh the joys of IBS....I am just glad God gave me a sense of humor!

Have a blessed day!...Rachel
stable and sooooooo thankful!
I have IBS but it doesn't have me!
