and I would just second all of it. As an aside, I've had docs tell me that anyone diagnosed with IBS-diarrhea who doesn't stabilize on 12-15 grams daily of a soluble fiber supplement doesn't have IBS after all, and this should be a big red flag for some other underlying problem. So if you get to that point, I would have your hubby brave a new doc (not fun, I know).

You might also have him add in peppermint, either tea or the caps or both. That can really help calm things down and get him stable.

Hope he's feeling better soon.
