Hi Maye and welcome. My story is a bit similar to yours. I've had IBS since I was a kid but was only diagnosed about 6 months ago. I'm currently taking Benefibre (I've only had a few doses so I'm certainly not an expert) and am an IBS-A. I find I can't take Metamucil as it gives me terrible gastric pains but haven't had any trouble in that area with the benefibre yet, however I took my first lot within 40 minutes of dinner the first time and it made me bloat so bad I was in pain (plus I put it in a smoothie which probably didn't help) then last night I took it 2 1/2 hours after dinner in cordial and had a fennel tea immediately afterwards (on the wonderful advice of Heather and Atomic Rose) and didn't have a problem. Good luck. I'm glad you found us. It's so nice to talk to people who understand.
