Re: New to Board.. lots of questions       05/23/03 01:06 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - Lorna gave you good advice. For dosage info for Metamucil, check here web page All soluble fiber supplements (like Metamucil, Citrucel, etc.) work for both constipation and diarrhea, but often people don't take enough of them. Increase your dosage gradually, drink LOTS of water all day long. Do try the fennel tea. And try to eliminate coffee altogether - it is a huge trigger and can definitely worsen constipation in IBS. Exercise is also very helpful - try to be active every day. It will work the muscles of your colon and help alleviate constipation.
