I am one of those that would never again use psyllium My doctor suggested it and I used it for several months, trying desperately to have it work. It did bulk up my IBS-D, however, the terrible gas pains were not worth it. I agree with Syl that inulin (FOS) is also very problematic. The only thing I can use is Citrucel and I only use a small amount (about half of what the dose says). Otherwise basically, try to follow Heather's diet and that helps alot.
