Just to let you know there are at least three of us! I also get a lot of undigested food and that "grainy" feeling is very familiar to me ... usually after eating wholemeal bread or anything with bran in it.

I was advised last year to take a supplement with hydrochloric acid to increase levels of stomach acid and it did improve things, before that I was passing all sorts of food undigested, afterwards only the obvious stuff like peas, beans, nuts etc.

I don't usually get cramping - used to, but in those days I hadn't heard of IBS and always thought it must be my fault for eating too much/too quickly.

Heather's advice sounds great - you are eating quite a lot of insoluble fibre, replacing it with soluble fibre for a while might give your poor insides time to settle down.

Good luck!
