I'm C & D unfortunately. I can go one way or the other quite spectacularly. The other week i had a severe bout of D lasting 3 days and the end of last year i had a bout of C which lasted over a week (ouch!).
Problem is when its bad it causes me to take time off work (and as my employers don't appreciate how bad IBS can be it creates anamosity at work)
I have taken fibregel for years, but until recently that is about as much as i knew. I have always avoided anything i could identify as causing a problem and it has only been since i found this site that i have started to re-evaulate my diet again (ie. cutting out Coffee, some of the remaining fats in my diet). The prospect of cutting out cheese (even low fat varities) is non to appealing to me. But if its worth it i'll give it a go.
I also have not heard of or come across most the remedies mentioned on this site. Such as sourdough and some of the other items mentioned in replies to this post.
I am learning but its alot to take in.
Sorry to blab on and thanks for the advice.
