Im leaving this afternoon for home- Mississippi (long story- go to school up north). I had been extremly bloated and was suggested by my naturopath to "clean myself out" before I fly. I took Correctol (bicasdoyl for woman) last night  I was in pain ALL night!!! diahrea at 4am and still at it and pain.
just a warning for those of us with IBS-C and already sensitive guts......I wouldnt reccomend that sort of laxative

That's why they're recommended against by Heather's books - they're too harsh, and they just screw your system up further. Plus, if you use them regularly, you can get dependent on them.
Sorry to hear you're in so much pain! Hope you feel better quickly!

Thanks Casey I havent read Heathers book- I wish I had known before not to take it- I hate it when a doctor reccomends something bad
I am feeling a bit better as the day goes on- leaving for my flight shortly. I guess I am "cleaned out" owe

Yes, stimulant laxatives are bad because they are very harsh,
but they will clean you out in a short period of time.However,
as you found,it's not very pleasant. Osmotic laxatives, like
Miralax aren't bad though, but they do not clean you out in
a short period of time like the stimulant ones do. Also, you
can take them on a daily basis without ill effect. Well
almost, abruptly stopping them wouldn't be such a good
idea, but they can be easily phased out over a period of
time. -Bob

Correctol was the source of my extreme IBS inmy early twenties. I would eat something and it would come out, mostly in tact sometimes in a half an hour! Scary stuff! 
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
