My GP says 'soluble fibre' is the answer...       11/13/04 04:16 AM Edit Reply Quote Shellsbells Reged: 12/16/03 Posts: 218 Loc: NW England, UK Wow, my (UK) GP sounds much better than yours - he told me to increase my intake of soluble fibre as much as possible in my diet - oats, rice, try white bread instead of wholegrain, lots of veggies and fruit. He also prescribed 'Normacol' - a soluble fibre supplement very much like Acacia, but in granule form rather than a fine powder. My GP says that the Fybogel stuff & psyllium can just make things much worse - Normacol is much more gentle. It's a vegetable gum from the karaya tree. Ask your GP to prescribe this - it's widely available, or you may be able to buy it over the counter, I'm not sure. One word of warning - Normacol-PLUS contains a laxative which you DON'T want. You want the standard NORMACOL. It's worth a try? Shells Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
