I had mild bloting before taking Tummy Fiber, but it seems that it has gotten worse.I had my yearly GYN.exam and when the doctor touched me he asked if I had a lot of gas because he banged on my upper stomach and it was hard as a rock. I have been on the IBS-D for 2 1/2 weeks and I have been using one packet of Tummy Fiber a day and I also take 3 Amitiza a day. What is the consensus on Gas-x or something like it?

The peppermint+ tummy tamer enteric coated caps on this website help with this, the peppermint in them can help with any spasms too. Hopefully you started out at 1/2t 2x/day of the acacia and then you would build up slowly as per directed for sure. This website has further info on that. "The First Year: IBS" book also available on this website explains the diet end of it too.

ask your doctor that.
Also, for constipation you'll likely need to work up to 3-5 tablespoons per day of the Tummy Fiber - gradually, not quickly!
One travel packet is 1 teaspoon.
Best,
