Naturopanic,
When I have the Bran Buds for breakfast, I always add some kind of protein, or I would be hungry like you, an hour later. Protein seems to regulate my blood sugar. Can you tolerate egg whites? Sometimes too many carbs for breakfast without some kind of lean protein, will cause you to be hungry an hour later. I don't think you will have to eat this kind of breakfast for the rest of your life. Obviously, your emotionally upset about it, so that alone is not helping the IBS. When I have the Bran Buds, I look forward to whatever I will have after them. They taste nasty too, but they do help me very much with the C.
So, are you saying only frozen spinach will help you go to the bathroom? You know fresh baby spinach is very good, and you can combine that in soups or stews. There are ways to doctor up the spinach so that it tastes better to you. I take it that maybe you don't cook? There are many spinach recipes out there, if you are willing to try.
And lastly, SFS have never helped me, but that is just me. I also find that if I do too many white carbs like bread, pasta, rices, etc., I become plugged up. So, as far as the Benefiber, I can't answer that since I do not use SFS. Have you tried eating more IF?
I do take a probiotic as you do. I tried Align for a brief period of time, and it was pretty much useless. I went back to OTC Digestive Advantage and that helps tremendously with the bloating.
And I don't mean to sound rude, but IBS is unfair as you say, however you have to make the best of it. Attitude is half the battle. We sound alot alike in how our bodies process foods. Do you work on other aspects such as exercise, hypnosis, meditation, etc? All of these help the mind and attitude. That is much more the issue for me than the food.
I hope this helps some and believe me I do know and share your discomfort.
