By "perfect" I mean that I eat very healthy. I don't eat any meat at all, no greasy/salty foods, no "junk" foods at all except for the occasional small peice of chocolate. I do drink small amounts of milk throughout the day: in my morning cereal and in some of my teas and hot cocoa, though dairy in miniscule amounts never bothered me before (there was a time I took all dairy out of my diet but nothing had changed). I am moderately active, walk forty minutes a day with my one year old son in the stroller. As far as SFS go, I have tried Benefiber powder, Fiberchoice chewables, Metamucil wafers and Metamucil powder. None of them, even when I had worked up to max doses over long periods of time, worked for me. I am now taking Fibercon, two pills 2-3 times per day, which were helping but recently stopped. You made a good point about stress, though, for I have been having a ton of this lately. I didn't even think of that. Also, I went over everything that I have been eating in the past week and had remembered that I had started eating All Bran Cereal Bars every day this whole week, something that is new and I had never tried before. I figured they would be fine with me since the cereal itself is. I'm glad I thought of this. I'll stop eating these and see what happens. Thank you for helping me go over key IBS triggers.
