I think i might try the SFS. I feel a bit stupid complaining..as I know so many are worse off I go everyday...once a day. But I don't think the volume is right and I frequently have compact BMs that are painful to move. Then again..some days are perfect... From everything I have read I am getting the impression that I am consuming too much ISF and hardly any SF.
Frequently I have 3 cups of raw salad a day and 2 cups of steamed brocolli. Plus an apple and 1.2 cup B. berries. The only soluble fibre I get is 3/4 cup oatmeal and MAYBE 1/2 brown rice. I also eat seeds and nuts and nut butters. Other than that I eat poulty, fish and eggs.
I did once have a bad reaction to pears. I ate one a day for 3 days and ended up with terrible cramps on the third day. I was attempting to add more fruit to my diet! Pff...that didn't work. I eat 1tsp of honey a day and I havne't noticed anything.
I can't thank you enough for helping me sort this out...I do have a fair amount of anxiety..which I know doens't help..and somedays I struggle to continue to try and get better...
