I am also IBS - C. It is my understanding that you should take a prebiotic, like Acacia (which is a fiber supplement) and then you would take a probiotic like Primal Difense, Bio K Plus or Acidopholus pills in addition to the prebiotic (Acacia). You would not take say Benefiber and Acacia, one or the other. I also have found that a little of Acacia fiber goes a long way, meaning that 1 tsp is more beneficial than the 2 Tbls of Benefiber that I was taking.
I am having a terrible bought of IBS - C right now and understand the struggle. I at times wonder if all the expense is helping as I still need to be careful of what I am eating. But, I also have been told by our "Health Hut" that it can take 3 months for everything to start working together correctly and then you can possibly cheat during your good times but I unfortunatley abuse it and end up like I am now And that is why I keep taking my probiotic and prebiotic -- I am not stable yet. Hope this helps a little.
