Welcome to the Boards. I'm sorry you're having such a terrible time. It would be easier for me to make suggestions if I knew a little more, so ...
First and most important, I assume you've had all the tests Heather recommends to be sure this is IBS and not something else. Correct?
Are you IBS-D (diarrhea is your predominant symptom), IBS-C (constipation predominant), IBS-A (alternating between diarrhea and constipation), or IBS-P (pain predominant)?
Are you on Heather's diet?
How much Citrucel do you take every day and what kind (powder, pills, capsules, flavored, sugar-free, etc?)
