I also walk 30-40 minutes everyday and do some stretches as well. What kind of exercise do you suggest? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: SF, solubility and transit time       #287198 - 10/20/06 07:14 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 So, this is confirming that SFS do ferment and cause more gas? Very confused. I know you don't take any. I'm not as scientific as you....so could you break it down a little more? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Good luck!       #287199 - 10/20/06 07:15 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 How much are you up to now? I hope it helps you!!! Are you still taking your flax? I just don't understand why/how it can make me more C...or what I'm doing wrong. I think I'm more gassy and bloated just because I'm more C. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: SF, solubility and transit time       #287203 - 10/20/06 07:56 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA One of the reasons it is recommended that you slowly increase you SFS is so that you body (large bowel) learns to accomodate the increase in fermentation. I suspect as you increase the dose the colony of bacteria increase in size to accomodate the increase in food provided by the SFS. I don't know much about the various fermentation processes that take place in the large bowel. There are many different bacteria involved that is why many probiotics contain a cocktail of bacteria. I suspect that different SFS are fermented by different bacteria in different ways. It is probably a complex and poorly understood phenomena. Anyone else have more information? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: SF, solubility and transit time       #287236 - 10/20/06 12:06 PM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 Thanks. I'm still confused though! I seem to be getting more C as I increase the SFS. I have increased it slowly, as suggested. Can I ask why you don't take one? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     So....does this mean       #287238 - 10/20/06 12:12 PM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 That no other IBS-C people (Besides Miso who, as we all know, is exceptional) has become stable without an SFS? -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Question       #287267 - 10/20/06 03:28 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Have you tried the new formulation of Benefibre? The old version used hydrolized guar gum for the SF. The new version uses wheat dextrin as the SF.

I'm up to 1-1/4 teaspoons per day right now. I haven't needed to take flax yet because I've been eating more IF foods. Since you're C are you getting enough IF in your diet?

The insoluble fiber that comes from my food helps my digestion through the day. I've tried numerous SFS, but none of them worked. Now, I'm just on a IFS, which helps loads! -------------------- Tierney IBS-C www.StandardProcess.com[/url] = the home of REAL supplements Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
