Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Let's list our daily meals

Well I think I read that when its grund up its way better and the kind I got is almost powder. It looks like finely chopped nuts or something. I did have some cramps this morning but like I said I also had a BM so its like...i wont have a stomach ache in the morning but I cant have a BM or I can have a BM but i have awful cramps!!! Ugh which one do I prefer? haha Will by stomach get used to the flax seed or is it something you think I should lay off of?

Also I have major gas today! Is that from the probiotics you think? I think someone on here mentioned that before. I bought Flora-Q after buying Florastor first without realizing it had lactose ugh.

The "cake" I was referring to is actually the pumpkin apple spice bread in the IBS cookbook. It is AMAZING! I put a little pillsburry fuffy white frosting on it (its vegan and has the least fat at 10% per serving but I only use half of that) and some of those color sugar sprinkles and it tastes just like yummy cake! Don't overdo it on the frosting though like I wanted to haha and it tastes great without it too, so maybe just leave it out altogether.

I never put my fiber in food before. I drink it in a huge glass of water with breakfast and dinner. It really ups my water intake for the day too thats why I prefer to do it that way. Don't freak yourself out too much about it though because then any kind of reaction you have you might automaticlly freak yourself out some more and blame the fiber you know? Or at least thats how I am!

I think that the gas from fiber is just because its a shock to your gut kinda so if you're really worried, start at 1/4 tsp 2x a day instead of 1/2 2x. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon too!
