Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Tummy fiber still not helping

Hi Lisa!

I noticed you said you started 2 weeks ago and now have lowered your dose down to 1/2 teaspoon...how much were you taking? When I started this two months ago, I built myself up to 2.5 teaspoons per day over about 3 weeks. Taking too much too soon isn't any good for you.

I honestly feel like fiber should work for particularly D's like us. It really, really helped me significantly.

Definitely follow the EFI diet listed on this site. That in conjunction with a fiber supplement as I described has completely changed my life in the past 2 months, I can hardly even believe it.

Don't give up! If after a few weeks at a lower dose you see no improvement or are still having a lot of gas pain, try a different brand. I was taking inulin in one brand and it worked. I saw another brand of inulin on sale and bought that...it nearly KILLED me with gas pain!!!!! I still can't believe it.

Don't give up! Give your body a chance to adjust, try the diet regulations and also try some stress relief techniques...you will find the answer ;D
