...Look for psyllium, because I know it's been discussed in here, and as I recall it's really hard on the system.
FWIW, I take Citrucel tablets rather than Metamucil or other fibers because psyllium apparently helps cause bloating and believe me I need no help with that, I am bloating up like the goodyear blimp just fine on my own.

...I don't know anyone with IBS who can tolerate the stuff. Dairy is such a trigger! I'm not at all surprised that it's "stirred up your IBS." I also used to be able to eat dairy, but now I can't go near the stuff.
My co-worker with IBS tolerates dairy (and has since her diagnosis 10 years ago). I think I might be okay with dairy too but I am just starting to try it a little now. I did a big no-no yesterday and ate 1/2 a piece of cheesecake  (it was put before me and I had recently had a "safe" snack so I wasn't on an empty stomach, so I thought "now's as good a time as any to test out dairy!" -- I wasn't thinking about the eggs but c'est la vie). Don't hate me for this, but so far, so good -- I had some problems with gas and soft stool this morning (but not an attack) but it wasn't much different than the same problems I had yesterday morning, pre-cheesecake.

If you like to cook, then by all means be sure to also get her fabulous, "Eating for IBS." The recipes in there are unbelievable.
I made the garlic roasted potatoes and they came out sooooo good! Easy, too.
