my doc thought i was nuts when i told him i knew quitting did it. i'm ibs "c". after 4 months of dealing w/all the ibs crap, he put me on zelnorm to help things move along. all of the other laxitives that was prescribed didn't work for me. they just kept telling me to double up. i'm a really bad ibs "c". i just went off the zelnorm and am really scared that the "c" is gonna flare up again. zelnorm is only a temp fix. i did order some of heather's fiber. hopefully that will work. thank you so much for replying back!! i need all the help i can get.

I don't blame you for being scared about going off the Zelnorm. I'd lose it if someone tried to take my Glycolax away.

Good luck with the acacia. I've always tended toward gassiness, and I just can't seem to tolerate fiber supplements, including acacia. Everything I've tried, no matter how small the dose, results in endless rumbling and excess gas. I just really can't stand the feeling, and it doesn't seem to improve with time. Also, for me, fiber supps don't give the predictable results that the Glycolax does.

Needless to say, we're all different. Hopefully the acacia will work for you.
