I really don't want to split up the Psyllium into separate doses because I want to get all the bloating while I'm at home, and ready for bed instead of starting my day off with it. Does that make sense? Yes, it does! Maybe I'll wait until the weekend and try it to see if makes any difference. Good idea.

I did build up to the 1 T of flax. I started with 1/2 T and then went to 1 T. Does flax make people bloated?

I did try increasing the psyllium another 1/4 tsp tonight...It's the start of my 3rd week. I did it before I saw your post! Too late now. I am feeling some C tonight so I decided to increase it. I can always go back down if it's too bad. Yep, that's a good plan. Well, let us know tomorrow whether increasing the dose helped!

I forget it you are taking an SFS? I started with Benefiber in December, but the past month or two I haven't been taking it very regularly. I'm trying to start it up again.

I did try peppermint tea a while ago, but it gave me a tummy ache. Oh, do you have GERD or acid reflux? Maybe I'll try it again though. Okay, but only if you want to. How many times did you try it before? You could also take chamomile (a good tip from Linz: use two tea bags instead of one). And I do drink fennel after my meals. Excellent! I think Heather's brand would probably be more potent though.

I just don't know if I should go back to eating GF while I do the psyllium or if I should stop the psyllium while I try eating gluten. Do you have celiac disease? Thanks for telling me that I am probably still just adjusting to it. I wasn't sure if it was time to give it up yet or just how long it usually takes to adjust before knowing it's time to stop. From what I've heard others say, at least a week to adjust to each change. For me, I think it takes more like two weeks. Talk to you later!
