Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: question about celevac

Hi!
When I first started taking Celevac, I had loose stools (it was never D in the sense of sudden attacks several times a day but just once or twice). Anyway, my GP knew that and still she told me to take the Celevac with lots of water. I remember asking her about it and she said, no, take it with lots of water (she never gave me a reason, Doctors never seem to do...). Maybe because she felt the purpose of the product was not so much to soak up excess liquid but to bulk up the nervous bowels - and in order to do so it needed the water. I followed her advice and always had at least one or two glasses of water with the tablets. I did however for some time take two before breakfast with only half a glass of water because I didn't want to trigger anything. I don't think that was effective. In any case I don't think the IBS-D is the same as the diarrhoea mentioned in the Celevac leaflet.

Perhaps some other, non-British, people can offer advice, I think Celvac is comparable to Fibercon?!
