Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

What I've read about this says that it contains Frangula bark, a laxative. Since I'm not in the UK I can't get my hands on an actual package of this stuff to check it out - it's all been internet research. But you might just double check this to be sure.

I just recently had to revise the First Year IBS for a UK edition, which meant a lot of research in the UK soluble fiber supplements, and there didn't seem to be a single option available that either wasn't psyllium or did not contain a drug in addition to the fiber.

If Normacol is just pure soluble fiber, could you please let me know? Thanks!

And what a great doc!!

PS - don't worry about the wheat intolerance. If you're not intolerant to gluten, this leaves oats and barley and buckwheat and basically all other grains but wheat. Plus, you've got rice, rice noodles, cornmeal, and the special bread/baking mixes that are meant for gluten-intolerant folks. Check some of Kandee's posts on the recipe board!
