I am not drinking as much water as I could (avarage 1 to 1 1/2 liters per day) I am trying to find something that will work for my C that I can take for an extended period. Zelnorm is killing me and not helping the C, Acacia did not work for me (made me miserably bloated and no BM's) Wondering if the Flax fiber is an option Thanks for all your support Jennifer, I have been going through a rough year cheers Trixie Always C and bloated Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: FLAX FIBER????       #215096 - 09/22/05 01:25 AM Edit Reply Quote vanillabean Reged: 09/09/05 Posts: 56 Loc: Mississippi Trixie, I feel your pain, I have dealth with IBS-C since I was a little girl. I REALYY cannot stress to you enough the importance of water though, stool(no matter what fiber you have) cannot move through easily if not well hydrated. you are only drink 2-3 cups of water day aim for 8-10 at least. I need far beyond that I find. THe flax does help me, with lots of water though, and I cannot have it alone. Only 1TBS grounded at a time due to the fat content, and it has to be with other SF. Good luck with it if you try! I have not tried ACacia before. (really should) -------------------- ~Jennifer~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wedding date- May 20th, 2006!
