Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Casey, you said your problem began on Thursday, so it couldn't have been the muffins since you made them just yesterday.

Did you have your SFS this morning before breakfast?

I've had so many problems with my SFS; all my recent attacks have been attributed to it. I was only at a very low dosage of Benefiber (1+ teaspoons/day), but yet it was my culprit. The MINUTE I stopped taking it my symptoms disappeared.

Interesting that you asked when it started bothering me. It wasn't until I had gone through almost the entire bottle! I was just starting to increase my dosage from 1 teaspoon to 1-1/2 teaspoons when the morning attacks occurred -- every day. In fact, I had just bought a new bottle -- the large size -- when I discovered my body didn't like the stuff. Safeway was great; they took the new bottle back (without a receipt!). I threw out what was left in the first bottle (it wasn't much).

Whether my body got sick of the stuff or whether it just took that long for my subconscious to get the message that it didn't like it, I don't know, but I've been just fine ever since going off it. No more nausea! Yaaay.

Why not try one morning without the FiberChoice? Just one. See how you do. To me, that's the best test of all.

Hope you feel better soon.

Bev
