I was just recently diagonosed with IBS Constipation and I am dying with bloat and extended belly. I am not sure what to take? I have drank one cup of senna tea or there any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem. I'm thin but I look like I'm pregnant by the end of the day. Watch what you eat; broccoli and salad will trigger it for me. Put Beano on any trigger foods. I just switched from Metamucil to Citrucel to help with the bloating as well.

I take Mirilax every moning and 2 capels of citracel in the morning after breakfast and two after dinner. I also live on Gas-ex

I use Metamucil, so I was just wondering if the Citrucel helped any? I'm to the point now where I can't even eat a salad anymore. It seems like my IBS has gotten worse. Please let me know if Citrucel works better for you.
Thanks!!!!

I use both Citrucel and Miralax. I have found Citrucel to help me most of any other fiber so far.

Also, I didn't think you should take fiber if you had had a prolapse. How much do you take (and in what form...pills, clear mix, etc), if you don't mind me asking?
I'm currently taking Acacia...and it's not making any changes (on the positive side, at least).

I'm not sure why fiber would be bad for a prolapse? Never heard of that. Did a Dr. tell you that? I take 4 scoops of Citrucel a day (2 in am, 1 in afternoon, 1 in pm). And I use 2 doses of miralax (1 in am, 1 in pm). I am under the supervision of my colon surgeon. I tried acacia a long time ago. I don't know that it helped much for me. I thought Citrucel worked better.
