Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS-D people and Fibercon

I'm IBS-D and I took Fibercon for only a few weeks before ordering Heather's Acacia. I was VERY nervous too about taking it, but if you read all the advice here, it tells you that Fibercon will help bulk up your stool and absorb the water in your bowel, even though it is marketed as a laxative. It was in the early stages when I took it so all I can say is that I didn't have any worse d. I had less d but I did have a lot of bowel movements. But at least they were more controlled. If you're new to the site, read as much info as you can about the diet and it seems that Acacia has been raved about more than the OTC medicines and I love it for D. (Remember you won't see a huge change in the beginning with any of the SFs though b/c you have to slowly work your way up to taking more and then you will see a difference. Good news for you...apparently d'ers see results sooner than c sufferers.)
