Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Exercise really helps me a lot. The more I exercise the better I feel. I know it's about the LAST thing you want to do when you feel all bloated and crappy but make yourself do it on a regular basis!

Also, because you are having some constipation, do add in more insoluble fiber. Try some brown rice with your dinner. Hummus and whaet pita bread is a favorite of mine. Maybe try a small bowel of whatever higher fiber ceral you like-I can do raisin bran once in a while-CAUTION-some people do have problems with raisins and the higher amounts of fiber so go slow and only add one or two things at a time so you know if you have a problem what caused it!

Start off slowly on the acacia. I had been taking 6-8 fibercon a day so I jumped right in on almost 2 spoons a day and that was too much. Made me really stinky gassey and more bloated. Heather suggested I go to just one regular spoon a day for a while and thats working much better!
