Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I came here several months ago and read about some of you using the Walgreen's brand of Benefiber. I had been using stuff like Benefiber before I read that. I went to Walgreen's and purchased the stuff you were talking about. It was like a miracle and worked wonderful, pretty much within a few days. "Things" were regular and comfortable. I'm not really constipated, but tend not to go very often. This stuff seemed to make me go more often. Now it's been probably 5-6 months since I started it. There has been a lot of stress in my life in the last few months with the death of my mother, end of the year school activities (I have a senior), and other stuff. Anyway, it seems to not be working anymore. I read here that with IBS you kind of tend to try something and it will work for a while and then quit, so you have to try something else. My question is do you think that the stress I have had has made it not work so well for me now? Do you think if I just upped the dose more that would work? Or, what's next for me? What should I try next? Something to "compliment" Walgreen's fiber or what? Sorry for all the questions! Any help is greatly appreciated!
