Wow, what an experience you had! I'm so sorry, Dina. I guess I was just lucky, because my colonoscopy experience was so good. I hope I didn't give you false hopes.
So at least you know what you have and don't have. IBS, eh? Well, join the club! We're a pretty cool club actually, and we can help you here.
By the way, you said your GI likes Heather's diet? Oh, I think I like your GI! He said to increase your fiber. Good advice. Is the Citrucel that you're switching to the powder or the capsules? The powder has twice the fiber as the capsules, so you want to just start out with the same dosage you WERE on with the Fibercon, then SLOWWWWLY increase it. If your body is real sensitive, you'll want to do it over a period of several weeks. Check the "thumb-tacked" thread above from Heather about acacia dosages. It's taken me 3 months to increase my dosage up to the recommended level (my body is VERRRY sensitive).
So good news too, eh? To have found a good GI is VERY good news! Again, I'm sorry you suffered so. I know all about that anxiety; it's mean stuff. I'm real sorry you have IBS, but I'm glad you're with us, Girlfriend, where you can get some great help and SUPER support.
