Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Can someone PLEASE explain this

My opinion... that is what IBS is about. You don't have to change your diet for your gut to get spasmy and cause thin stools. It is most likely a stress sort of thing. When my gut changes into a new worse cycle, I up my fiber and tea intake, exercise more if possible and go back to basics with my easiest to digest foods.
Alternatively, sometimes suppplements and diet changes will have a great reaction but one that is only temporary. It could be that the supplements you are on aren't really going to work for you. Sorry to be honest.

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
