Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: How's the align coming?

In a newsletter sent from Heather recently she made a point that expecting a new med or routine to just work while stopping the old routine kind of made sense to me. She recommended adding fiber and other new things slowly while using the old stuff until the bowel accepts the fiber. I guess Ive taken that to heart. I overdid the fiber not understanding how it works and really made a mess of myself. I think the align will eventually bring the digestive bacteria back up to parr but will have to be faithful for a long time. Ive added fibercon to the routine. miralax doesnt seem to do anything for me. does it help you? I used the bowel cleanse system last weekend. hopefully it didnt cancel out any good effects. I want to feel better now! the nurse prac recommended taking the align until oct. Zelnorm was easy, one pill. now I have a phamacy of over the counter stuff. I hope it works. how long have you struggled with this? Is there ever a balance? Does it effect mood for you and is depression a factor with ibs-d? Just looking for answers in others experiences
