Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Oh it is so frustrating! I totally understand having IBS C as well. I started Heathers diet a couple months ago and have found that I need much more insoluable fiber then what she recommends. Since I have added more insoluable fiber to my diet I am starting to feel better. I still stay away from dairy and redmeat, greasy and fried foods. At least most of the time anyway, I did have a big bar cheeseburger this past weekend (and boy was it good!) and my tummy wasn't any worse! Don't get me wrong, I still have pain and bloating, I don't think I will ever be "normal"! I think for some people with C, you need the insoluable stuff to move things through!

Have you tried the pill fiber supplements instead of the powders? If your still having problems getting things to move, there has been a lot of talk about Aloe. I've never tried it but it seemds to be working for some people. I know you probably don't want to take a prescription drug but I take MiraLax and it really does help.

Happy belated b-day!
