Well, I'm IBS C and have been for 18 years. I take Miralax for the C. I also take Heathers Acacia. I used to take fibercon but was taking 8-10 pills a day and that still wasn't enough.
Anytime you start ANY fiber supplement, it can cause a little extra gas and bloating, but this is TEMPORARY! I felt worse for about the first week, I cut my dose back a bit and it went away. I have gradually increased my dose. I am currently taking a very large, heaping spoon every morning. The trick is to start off SLOWLY and know that you MAY get a little extra gas and bloating but it will go away. You have to stick with it, in the long run it will help you! I still get some severe attacks but my day to day IBS is much better since folowing all the advice here!
