I am taking the RELIV NOW, Innergize and Fiberstore.
The NOW and Innergize have given me a great amount of energy and I love that. I simply mix them in water.
I started off taking the Fiberstore 1/4 scoop twice daily. I knew my body had to adjust to the new fiber, so when the bloating and gas returned I tried to just deal with it and let time pass. I was on 1/2 scoop for one week and moved up to 1 full scoop twice daily while eating my oatmeal daily and continuing on my Citrucel 3 x per day, not including the fiber in my food.
I am trying to give it time for my body to adjust. I am back to C however, and have to strain sometimes to have a bm. also I am bloated and gassy again although not as severe as before I started taking the product.
I was stable on my Citrucel 3 x per day, but just did not have any energy. Like you, I know get up feeling relaxed and am sleeping much better at night except for the "wake ups" to use the bathroom. Voiding, no D or C.
I am wondering if I moved too quickly with this fiber as well. The other products are great, but the fiber has me back to C. I have only been taking the fiber for about two weeks and just starting taking 2 full scoops per day this past Saturday.
Since you have experienced this problem with fiber, do you think I should drop the fiber and continue on my Citrucel which had me stable with 1-2 bms per day and no bloating or gas?
There is also the problem of soy. I am wondering if my body is still adjusting to it.
The NOW and the Innergize are great products and I highly recommend them. I stopped taking all vitamins except extra C, B12 and B Complex with C. I'm just having a small problem with the fiber and I think it might be the dosage.
Our bodies need 15-35 grams of fiber per day (I think). The IBS diet does not give me enough fiber, which is why we all take more.
What dosage did you start on and how fast did you progress? also, what do you plan to do about the Fiberstore when you return back to it?
I await your opinion, and only your opinion. After all, you have been there with this fiber, had some problems with it and I think you are the one that can answer with experience. No offense to you other guys.
