I'm an IBS-C'r too. I've been on Heather's diet now for almost a month. At first I didn't have much gas on the diet but was still very C. Then, last week I got terrible gas. I had increased my SFS & also insolubles to help with the C. I also took Miralax for 4 days, which I think made me extremely gassy. Anyway, this week I seem to be doing better. I stopped the Miralax & started taking small doses of Zelnorm every other day. I've been taking 1 Tbs acacia in the morning, 1/2 Tbs acacia at lunch, and 1 Tbs acacia at dinner.
Gas-X has been pretty helpful for those gassy times. I just bought a store brand.
Just want you to know that you're not alone!! I hope that we can "stabilize" and feel "normal" eventually!
Everyone tells me that it takes months for this diet to really help.
p.s. I cheated & had pepperoni pizza this weekend. Oh My Gosh!! The gas was horrific. That makes me think the diet is doing some good. My body did not like the pizza.
