I got introduced to Equalatin by Heather, who enclosed a sample with my order for peppermint, fennel and acacia.

Equalactin equalizes the water balance in the bowels to restore normal bowel movements. "In the diarrhea stage of IBS, Equalactin absorbs water and gives the stool bulk and substance, leading to normal bowel movements. In the constipation stage, Equalactin binds the water to the hard, dry stool, creating softer stools that are easier to pass." "When you feel the onset of IBS symptoms, take Equalactin to provide relief and to prevent the episode from becoming severe."

Active ingredient: 625mg. Calcium Polycarbophil (equivalent to 500mg. Polycarbophil).

It's great stuff! I had a hard time finding it locally, even though it's "over-the-counter." The pharmacist ordered a supply of it for me. I keep the sample that Heather gave me in my emergency medicine cabinet in my purse, and the box of Equalactin I got from the pharmacist I keep in the bathroom. One box of 48 chewable tablets (they're not bad tasting, actually!) cost me $6.87. A bargain at ANY price!
