Hi - Are you getting a high soluble fiber basis? All the fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains are really nutritious but also very high in insoluble fiber. Paradoxically, for folks with IBS this can actually worsen constipation. Check here for soluble/insoluble fiber info web page

What fiber supplements have you tried, and at what dose? Many people simply don't increase their dose to a high enough level, or drink enough water for the soluble fiber to work. There is dosage and other info here web page

For probiotics, search the board for brands that people have found effective.

Best,
Heather
