For IBS-C you have to get your dietary fiber intake - soluble and insoluble fiber - up to 30-40 grams per day or even higher. So source suggest for IBS-C you may to get up to 50-60 grams per days of dietary fiber from your diet. Taking 2 teaspoons of Benefiber three times a day only gives you an additional 10.5 grams from SFS.
You don't have to be stuck with Oat Bran and Applesauce. If you think oat bran is good for you then buy pure oat bran add a small amount (1/4/-1/2 teaspoon) to regular oatmeal and add berries or banana.
Add more probiotic is not likely to gain you a significant improvement. And Jarro-dophillus while it is a good general probiotic it has not been shown to be effective for IBS.
1) I was taking 1 teaspoon of Benefiber twice daily. 2) I was having 1 teaspoon of Oat Bran with a bowl of applesauce as my breakfast.
I really feel overmatched...I don't know how to eat more fiber...I tried regular and even Quick Oats and those seemed to not work. I am almost wondering if what I am going through...which is the worst stretch in FIVE years is due to Align...even though I was on it less than 2 weeks and have been off of it for nearly a week.
3) What probiotic then HAS been shown to work with IBS? Ever other one besides Jarrow I try (VSL/Align) fails.
