I am IBS-C and was diagnosed last December. At that time, my GI put me on Zelnorm and 4 colace per day. By March my BM were once a day with a substantial amount. Matter of fact, I don't remember me ever having BMs this normal. I used to only go every 3 days with not substantial amounts before I started having IBS attacks. One month ago I started a new job and haven't gotten health insurance yet. As a result, I quit zelnorm and gradually introduced my system to acacia. I am still going once per day but not a substantial amount so my tummy is even more bloated than usual. I am currently taking a total of 9 teaspoons of acadia a day (broken up into small amounts of course), 4 colace, omega 3 (flax seed oil, fish oil and borage), 2 calcium/magnesium and a women's day vitamin. Is there something else I could take to make my BM more effective or possibly take more acadia? Any advice would be appreciated very much!!!
