Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Haven't "gone" in 3 days...now what......??

Rebecca,
I just read your post to my question- I also had the C's come with the stress I mentioned (which was a complete surprise to me since I have gone 365 straight days with D and never worried about C). I know there are a ton of C experts on these boards, but I found that Docustae sodium worked (OTC but not a stimulant- can take a day or two to work) as well as a little bit of coffee to help (MOM also works pretty well and more quickly but not as gently). I am finally getting myself back to a more functioning place- got the stress a bit more under control and started paying more attention to the soluble fiber. That has probably been the biggest help for me out of Heather's diet plan- I use her power and take 2-4 Fibercons a day (very convenient and east to take- start helping with pain and D in no time). It seems like all IBS suffers are different, but it may be worth a try. Good luck!
