I'm glad to hear the diet is doing you good! I will try to answer your question. I believe fiber supplements are best taken while you eat or during your meal. My GI specialist encourages that to reduce the possibility of gas from the SFS. However I thought I have heard Heather say metamucil is not the recommended fiber supplement, maybe someone here knows or maybe others take it but I thought citrucel or benefiber causes less gas for the powder type fibers. Hope this helps!

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
