Hi Catzlady4; No I do not take fiber supplements.That's what I meant about xtra fiber. I try to get fiber from food. I probably should try a supplement again. I have tried before and had bad results. The usual gas, cramps and D. There is not much choice here in Northern Ontario, on fibre supplements. When I have good days,meaning not much D. gas,etc.... mind you though I am always crampy due to the colitis; I eat pretty much everything,within reason. Steamed veggies, chicken or sometimes a hamburger and fries, mmmhm, most foods from Heather's book. I only take immodium if I really have to go somewhere. Most times I let the D. take its course. Or if I get really tired I take one to slow down the D. When I have to many bm's during a day,or say 5-8 times within an hour (I hate It when this happens) my colitis flares up. I bleed from my rectum alot.When this happens I usually end up on Iron tablets due to loosing so much blood. I take 6 dipentum capsules daily, and at night I use Pentasa enema . This is to control the colitis. But when I'm bleeding alot it gets very discouraging when the bleeding doesn't stop. Its a vicious circle. I get everything under control, then the IBS strikes (half the time I never know why?) then the colitis strikes. Hope I have answered your ?"s. Sue
