Yes - that reaction is common       04/07/10 03:14 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Sometimes starting at a low dose and gradually increasing prevents it, sometimes it's just because that particular type of fiber supplement is not going to work with your body. Oddly, I don't even normally get bloating as a part of IBS at all. The only thing that's ever triggered it is inulin/FOS supplements. I really wish psyllium were not still the front-line recommended fiber from docs. It's the oldest one around, and it's the most familiar to docs, and (most frustratingly) it's still the one used most often as a "soluble" fiber supplement in research studies (even though it's only 2/3 soluble). Drives me crazy, because I think it skews the study results. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
