stool softners       07/22/09 04:01 PM Edit Reply Quote pikagirl Reged: 07/22/09 Posts: 4 Loc: United States I have read a good portion of Heathers book on ibs. I've just started following her plan and have started taking Heathers Tummy Fiber at a low dose. I still have boughts of constipation but I expect this as I am just a beginner. My question is this: until my smyptoms are under control are stool softners safe? The doctor says yes but then he also says I need to eat more whole grain, beans, and cauliflower etc. while staying away from the foods Heather recommends. I know from past experience the doctors orders just don't help. They just cause pain and gas. Anyway I just wanted Heather(or anybody else) opinon on the safety of stool softners (I use 2 100mg capsles of Colace). Could I eventually stop using them as I increase my fiber?
