I don't have the amount of how much metamucil here with me at work. But I do take all four of them at once. That amount seems to help. I have been taking Zelnorm for I think about 5 of 6 months now and it still seems to be helping. I know for some people the Zelnorm stops working for them. I wish it would have worked for you.

Now for the magnesium and the other stuff no I don't take any of that and never have. I can eat the whole wheat alone or with other stuff. I do fine with raw veggies they don't bother me. I can eat apples with the skin on I have never had a problem with that. No I really don't have to eat SF before I have IF. I guess I am just lucky that way. I do sometimes get bloated but not to often.

I am not sure what else I can do to help you. I sure wish the medicine would help you. Have you tried Citracel. I was also taking that but the Metamucil seems to help just as good and is cheaper for me.

I sure do wish you well. Just remember I was in the same boat as you and I was having attacks every week and sometimes 2 to 3 times a week and now I don't. Do you workout? I know that helps even if you just go walking. I do notice a difference to if I don't work out to if I do.

Just let me know if you need anything else. My e-mail address is on here and if you want to e-mail me go ahead and I will try and help anyway I can.
