I am too lazy to go back to find the topic about nighttime bloating. But I have taken the fiber right before bed for a few nights and it hasn't done any good. I am bummed that it didn't work. I think I might have something that is additional or different in some way to make me bloat so much. I mean I am stable and very regular. I get bloated and gassy when I have to go and haven't yet done so- mid afternoon and need to go and can't or whatever. But like last night I was very painfully bloated. I went from 1 spoon acacia AM and 1 1/2 PM to 1 AM Pm and bedtime. That might have made me worse last night but in general I am still bloated and not D or C in any way. I think my bloating is extra stubborn, since it has always been the primary problem with me. In summer I am better. Anyways sorry to ramble but I am still wondering about that illiocecal valve. I might need to go in and talk about it. (wow I didn't mean to go into all that. I just wanted to say the bedtime fiber didn't make a difference).
-------------------- 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!
