Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Soluble vs Insoluble references

I use to take a psyllium SFS but I don't any more. It worked fine but I found I could handle my fiber requirement by diet alone. It is probably a good idea to take a SFS. You might try Benefiber or Heather's tummy fiber.

Individuals with C some times have to ramp up their soluble fiber intake and insoluble fiber from veggies and fruit. In some instance they have to get the level of fiber up to 40-60 grams per day.

There is no optimal frequence of BM per day. Abnormal stool frequency is defined as greater than 3 bowel movements per day (IBS-D) and less than 3 bowel movements per week (IBS-A);

Have you noticed whether apples, pears, grapes and their juices as well as honey and high fructose corn syrup make your symptoms worse?
