It has never caused me C but it doesn't work all that well on bloating since it just breaks up large gas bubbles in the upper GI tract. It causes you to burp them out. I do take it on occassion though. Bloating is best treated with lots of fennel tea, lots of water, exercise, sticking with the diet, not eating too much too seldom but eating small amounts often and avoiding gas producing foods. Beano helps some people too. Also acacia really helps when you get used to it.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
