Hey girl. Unfortunately I think everyone is different, so I can't give you a day that you'll start automatically feeling better I'm sorry you're still hurting so much. I still have a bunch of bad days too - and I've been on this diet for 4 months now. Not to discourage you - because believe me I am 95% better than I was before - but I'm still trying to figure out what I can and can't tolerate. I think I've also been getting more attacks because I got SOO bored of eating pretzals, mangos, white rice, and french bread for a month - so I've been cooking a LOT of these recipes and trying to find out what bothers me. SO - adding a lot more foods could be giving me some bad days right now.

Confused yet? I tend to ramble a lot.

Anyways, despite what everyone says - I think I increased my fiber pretty fast....I was up to 9 grams/day in 2.5 months, and I never had a big problem increasing. I'm not sure why I never had a problem with that?? I had some 'bubbling' in my stomach for about a day, but that was it. I would try to increase your fiber - but don't go too fast because everyone seems to have problems with that. If I were you, I'd add half a tablet each week or every 2 weeks or something. See how you handle the increase the first week.

It will get better - believe me. From where I was then to where I am now is unbelievable. I'm still stuggling with the whole, 'why did this happen, this is a pain in my a$$, I hate IBS' everyday. Soon I need to get over it and just accept it!

Sorry I just wrote a novel I'm bored waiting for my husband to get home from work. I hate that he works so many Saturdays!

Have a good weekend!
