Oh yes, in case I'm confusing anyone, I'm on all of the above, and getting no results. I feel like I spend my whole day downing goop and concotions! I got the IBS book 2 months ago and have been following it seriously, learning what foods set off the painful cramps has been invaluable. But the C is not letting up. I almost feel like my intestines are paralyzed because they just don't move. I won't go until I am absolutely stuffed all the way to the top, then only enough to relieve the immediate pressure, I don't feel any control in between. I was on Benefiber with poor results until I got my acacia, which so far, makes no difference. Neither does the Lactulose or the Miralax.  I am frustrateed because I have tried everything I can dig up to help myself naturally or medically the last 3 years and it just progressively keeps slowing down no matter what I do! I had an episode of C about 3 months ago where I didn't go for 2 1/2 weeks regardless of all the fiber and medicine, I ended up being in the hospital for 6 days with a tear and bad infection, and had to have PICC line for almost a month. I had a colonscopy afterwards to make sure everything healed, and it did. But this is why I get so nervous, I don't that whole thing to happen again
