Thank you for all your responses.

I had worked my way to the dosage with Benefiber, I moved to the 1 tsp a day gradually 3 times a day = 1 Tablespoon. . I separated it as to one teaspoon for Morn, Noon and Night. I did this for 2 weeks to see what reaction I got and it was none, then I added another teaspoon and so on and so on for about 2 months and did this for another month so I gradually added the intake and I received no gas or bloating,

I did notice a change in my stool as it was getting solid so I thought I was fine and then poof it became crazy, I was not eating triggers and I thought I was ok but then this happened. I had switched at one time to Citrucel back as I was using that originally and it was horrible it made me sick and excessive gas and bloating all the time, so I gave up and sticked with the Benefiber, yes it is Gum Gar and it seems to work well with me.

Today I brought some Equalactin and tried it today with a small dose to see how it works when I feel terrible, seems like it happens in the morning and middle of the day that I feel awful, so I will see I also have Fibercon as to reading the ingredients it has the same active ingredient in Equalactin, so I shall see, still monitoring my food, as I have been less and less to see what is going on until I get somewhat stable.

Yes my doc prescribed the Levsin, at one time my attacks were so bad I had to take it 3 times a day now I am down to once a day. Sometimes I think that the fiber works better than the Levsin, as sometimes it goes crazy from Diarrhea all day and then at night to constipation, so I thought I was going to go crazy. I am sure we all been there. With the Robinul Forte it was hard to take as to it gave me constipation so I had to cut the dosage and it seemed to work, my doctor did not want me to take Imodium as to the side effects I had with it.

I am not starving myself but no really eating anything that could cause and attack. Of course the water, I shall see you all have been great as to advice and resources I will continue to read the posts and search for topics, I will make it there I know I will and I hope you all will.
