It sounds like you're doing all the right things       06/09/06 05:50 PM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 MamaCat, it truly sounds like you're doing all the right things! Are you following Heather's diet? Also, are you getting enough IF? Yoga poses can relieve tons of gas/cramping/pressure. One more thing: some people do not tolerate certain soluble fiber supplements very well. I've had a few disasterous experiences, in the past--that's why I was so leery to try the calcium polycarbophil. Psyllium made me look pregnant--it literally "gummed" up my upper g.i. tract and was rather painful. Benefiber gave me explosively gassy orange D later in the day. Inulin was rather embarrassing. Many people have found Heather's acacia fiber positive. Have you tried that? Once more--it sounds like you're doing everything right. Perhaps it is the fiber supplement that is wrong for you. Perhaps stopping the Equalactin might show more benefits? I know that it takes those with IBS-C longer to stabilize with Heather's diet and that IF is important. Heck--I know that I feel bloated without enough IF! Note: make sure you follow safe guidelines with IF and have a strong SF base. Oh, one more thing (& it may not apply)--I know that a fiber overdose (i.e. from food) can constipate me, sometimes. Best of luck. Kate, IBS-D. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
