Hi... I am an IBS-C, severely so. I had to stop taking the Zelnorm after about 4-5 months, as it loses is potency as your body becomes used to it. It is only supposed to work in the short term. I have switched to Heather's diet a few weeks ago, and the bloating/pain is much improved, but still totally C. Could no longer have a BM on my own, even with the Zelnorm.... still can't, but am trying to slowly build up my SFS.
At the moment, I try to incorporate some insolubles after solubles.... blended drinks including some of these - banana, pawpaya, peaches, pear, apple juice, cranberry juice. So far, I am okay on these. I even had a small piece of overcook cabbage, and this seemed okay. I think the key is to start small, with well cooked veggies after your soluble food.
Good Luck.
Keep trying...some days I feel discouraged, but hope to keep improving.
