Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

This is a great website for getting help and wonderful listeners as well. I take acacia for my soluable fiber, although my GI told me this week he wants me to switch to fibercon. All I can say is it's a trial and error method. Just like you found out with Meamucil and Citrucel; you won't know how your body reacts to the befiber pills until you give them a try. and yes, you can take Imodium as a preventative. Lots of girls here do. Do a search for Imodium and you'll be able to read the posts. Actually,about 2 weeks ago, I myself started taking one Imodium (I'm a d) every am when I got up and it was the first thing I've done in a year that seemed to actually be working. However, last week I developed a rash after taking it for almost 2 weeks in a row. I'm thinking it's the Imodium and so have stopped it to see. However, if I am, I am truly in the minority as the vast majority of people don't have any problems with it. I'd try it and see.
good luck
