Beth and BobK...       08/14/05 05:24 PM Edit Reply Quote doubletrouble Reged: 11/14/04 Posts: 1530 Loc: Canberra, Australia Beth: What I do if I have to take other meds with food is take the slippery elm about an hour before eating. Technically it works best 20 mins before eating but I figure I need my other meds as well so it's still helping. I can't really advise you on the diet, psyllium really hates me. I think maybe you've attempted too much at one time so you can't be sure on what is affecting you. You possibly should have stayed GF and started the psyllium on it's own or vice versa. I do this to myself all the time then have no idea what's causing the problem. Maybe go back to eating GF for a while and see how you go just on the psyllium then if that's okay then add back the gluten that way you'll know if the psyllium is the one causing the extra pain and stuff. You'll need to give it at at least 6 weeks though for the gluten to work it's way back out of your system. HTH some. BobK: Slippery Elm is a supplement from the HFS. It comes in both tablets and powder. The powder is better though it tastes pretty bad. It coats the lining of your stomach, bulks up stools (a little like SFS does although it is not an SFS and one should also be used if possible) and aids in digestion. You generally take a teaspoon in water 3 times a day 20mins before meals. Gluten is not something to generally worry about. It is the binding factor found in wheat, barley, oats and rye and can be a difficult diet to follow. If you have not tested positive for gluten intolerance it should be fine. If you are however feeling worse on the diet as I did try cutting it out and see if you feel any better. Most people who follow this diet have Coeliac Disease which can cause the same problems as IBS but it's more serious as it does damage the body. For more info ask your GP or google coeliac disease and it will bring up heaps of info. HTH. -------------------- Amy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
