It depends on which SFS you are taking. I was on Citrucel caplets 3 x per day and still had the bloating and gas. I had ordered Heather's acacia, tried it and was constantly C (I was mixing the Acacia and the Citrucel).
I stopped taking the Citrucel this past Thursday. I added more insolubles to my diet, i.e. canned peas and corn, diced peaches, pears, apricots and fruit cocktail. I have had the best bms ever!
I think when I started with the Acacia, I was not incorporating enough insolubles; and now that I am the Acacia is so far so good. I am taking 1 tsp 3 x per day and will increase to 1 tbs 3x per day in about two weeks.
I don't go as often, but when I do go I feel completely evacuated. No spasms, and the gas has dropped tremendously. I have one bm per day.
I will always take my SFS, I am an IBS-A. It keeps me from having D and C and that's okay with me!
Give it a try, if you don't like it you can always stop.
Good luck
Lene P.S. A BIG THANK YOU TO CASEY (ATOMIC ROSE) FOR SUGGESTING THE PEAS, CARROTS AND FRUIT.
