Every so often a little MOM or Phillips chews isn't horrible. It is bad to take too often. Another option for occassional use is Miralax. Taking more SFS and drinking more will help in the long run. Just want to ask; you don't take PM meds like Tyl PM do you?
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
