Hi there,
Hope you are feeling better!
I just wanted to say, keep trying! I take inulin, which most people with IBS run for the hills from. I started with very small doses of a no-name inulin brand at the end of November. A week ago, I saw a sale on Benefiber (in Canada it is inulin)so I thought "oh it's the same thing, I'll just buy some!" WROOOOOOOONGO!
I took Benefiber for 3 days, each more painful than the last! What the heck is up with that??? It's supposed to be the same thing, same dosage, same everything...I double triple checked! After those 3 days, I stopped and went back to my no name brand...all the pains were gone again after 1 day. What the heck!
My point I guess, is don't be concerned if something doesn't work for you. For me, the same thing only a different BRAND was completely different!!!! You will find something that helps, wait and see. Don't be afraid to try different things in small doses!
I also take a 500 mg calcium supplement every day now, and wow...cannot even BELIEVE the difference!!! I feel like a new person!
Keep it up and something will work for you!
