Re: New to IBS and really need help and advice       07/18/05 10:24 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) According to Heather's SFS FAQ page, 1 Tablespoon of Citrucel yields 2 grams of SF. Assuming a scoop is a Tablespoon and you're taking 3 scoops, that's 6 grams of SF from your SFS. That seems low to me. I'm IBS-D and I get 20 grams of SF from my SFS every day. That's high for someone who's D, but 6 seems low. I'd try increasing the SFS very slowly. Also, please check the label and see if it tells you how much fiber you're getting in a scoop. If a scoop is less than a Tablespoon, you're getting even less SF. Also, you should be sure your Citrucel does not have artificial sweetener in it. I think Citrucel comes in orange flavor which you may not tolerate well, either. (I'm a little vague on the flavor thing.) I agree with Linz - try the Imodium. You can do a Search on this Board and see what others say about how they use it. (Use both spellings: Imodium and Immodium) You can also try posting what you're eating and supplementing for a few days. The people on the Board are very good at spotting problems you might not even notice. HTH. If it's any consolation I was about as D as D gets prior to finding Heather's plan and have managed to get my IBS under control. I hope the same for you. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
