Starting over with the diet, but constipated and pain       05/25/05 12:38 PM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 I know it is recommended to do the "breaking the cycle" diet when you are in pain and symptomatic. But since I am C and not D, this seems like it would not help me. I tried it once before when I first discovered this website and it seems not to help with constipation at all. And I think I am in the worse pain when I am constipated. The "breaking the cycle" diet is pure soluble fiber. But us C folks need insolubles as much as possible to get things going or at least to try and get things going. But since I also have severe pain I'm stumped as to what approach I should do to try and get both the constipation and the pain under control. I need to do something, but I'm not sure if doing the breaking the cycle approach is the best way to restart. What do other Constipated folks suggest? Did you guys do this "breaking the cycle" diet even though you were constipated? Did it help? If not, what would you recommend to a fellow Cer who is trying to "start this diet over" in an attempt to find relief from pain, constipation, cramps, bloat, gas... I have it all except the D!
