Your subject line made me smile!

Now seriously, this is NOT how it will be forever. As I just said to Kelly (Vicam), there's no way anyone can know that for sure! If you could, I'd start asking you for stock market tips!!

I'm so sorry you're still having trouble. Two things come to mind. If one fibercon before each meal is all the fiber you're taking, that's not enough. Go re-read Heather's sticky post at the top of the list. I had to work my way up very gradually to one teaspoon three times a day of Metamucil (makes some people gassy but works great for me, pick one that agrees with you through trial and error).

But even that didn't help me when I was really out of control like you. I had to resort to meds to help me break the cycle -- Imodium to slow things down until I could get stable and an antispasmodic called Bentyl to stop the cramping and urgency. At first I took it only when I thought I needed it, but my doctor scolded me into taking it twice a day, every day. That finally did the trick and I haven't had D since Jan 9, almost four months.

If I can do it, you can do it. Hang in there, okay?
