Bevrs, What does the Equalactin do? Just settle your stomach or can it replace Benefiber? Do you use that before you eat a meal? The doctor gave me Aciphex for the gerd, and hiatal hernia and told me to take the Benefiber for the IBS and Spastic Colon. The only other meds I take are Synthroid for my thyroid problem and Xanax for anxiety. I noticed the IBS came on full force when I was treated for a bladder infection and was give a sulphur drug. Does sulphur aggrivate the problem or do antibiotics? I notice all the advice you pass on to everyone and a lot of it has helped me too. Thanks, Pat
