Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi,
I joined this site several months ago but have not had a chance to look at it for awhile. I have had a change in my IBS and feel like I am so fed up with this whole thing! I have IBS-A but most of my life has been C more than D. Several months ago it became D all the time and I have to say I felt ok that at least I didn't have to worry anymore about the bloating and such that go with C. Well now for some reason I am not going at all. The only correlation I can see is due to my period. The only thing is that I had my period and I am still having difficulty. I tried the acacia fiber and even in small amts it causes gas. Along with the C I have had constant gas and bloating. I have read some of the other posts and realize many others have the same issues. I have had all the tests and they have all come out ok. After a colonoscopy I was told that I had 50% percent more colon than I need and was given miralax. The miralax gives me gas too. I am now doing yoga and it has helped my general well being but aside from that I am SO sick of all this. Usually when my bloating and gas get so painful I have resorted to fleets but hate doing this because I don't want to be dependent on them. I just want to have a somewhat normal gut. Sorry I am just going on about this but I am at my wits end!
