I've been having chronic C for about a month or more now and I just don't know what else to do. I've tried Citrucel but it doesn't work and I tried taking Equalactin (2 tablets, 4x a day) and it worked for awhile but not anymore. For the past month or so I've been taking Ex-Lax on and off but I hate having to take it because I don't want to get dependent on it. Any tips or advice on what to take would be greatly appriciated. My lower stomach/abdomen is so bloated and hard I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to see an IBS specialist April 19th (soonest she could get me in). I've also been taking for about 3 weeks, VSL3, a probiotic preparation of live freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria. This was recomended to me by a family friend/RD (whose also a Fellow of the Amer. Dietetic Assoc.) and he's had IBS for over 20 years and said this has worked the best for him. I've been taking one packet every 3 days but the directions say to experiment with dosage and I don't know if I should take more or less? Here's the link to the site: www.vsl3.com Thanks for ANYTHING! I'm so desperate
