Pages: 1 Fiber making me more bloated :(       #372659 - 01/11/16 04:11 PM Edit Reply Quote LivinSimply Reged: 01/11/16 Posts: 7 Hi again! Just thought of another question. I was taking a fiber supplement (Fiber Choice) but I stopped because it was making me bloated. My challenge now is to find something to help w/ the constipation. I never was regular, but it has gotten worse since I was diagnosed w/ IBS a few months ago. I tried prunes which didn't help much, laxatives make we even more bloated, & prune juice also doesn't help. Any suggestions? By the way, Heather, the rosemary lemon fish was delicious! I had to use oranges because I didn't have any fresh lemons on hand, & I had only tilapia. All in all, it was very good. Even my kids liked it!

You'll likely need a higher end of the dose range for constipation - that's okay, just get up there gradually.

Great idea with the oranges - why not? Would probably be good with limes too. XXOO Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

I'm learning as I go. Yesterday I treated myself to a gluten free oatmeal cookie from Panera, but later I realized it had chocolate chips in it. Right away I knew I shouldn't have eaten it. Chocolate is another food that will be hard to give up.

Breads and baked goods can be especially weird that way. Best, H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
