For those of you who are IBS-C or IBS-A...what is the most effective treatment for the "C"? I seem to be IBS-D only when anxious or upset or the dreaded antibiotics! Whereas, I used to be totally "D", now I seem to revert back to "C",sometimes only going ever 2 days, then that causes the "hems" to flare up w/ some bleeding. My tummy feels better when I eat primarily SF, but I think it may be causing the "C". Color me "clueless" at this point. I probably am the only person in the world who prays for a BM and then thanks God when I have an easy one!  In the past when I've tried even stool softeners, they cause crazy cramping even in the middle of the night, so I'm terrified of them and laxatives. My dr. suggested Miralax, but I've heard of cramping with it too. I'm trying to add more fiber, but that seems to make it worse - and, I drink probably 90 or more oz. of water a day, plus (pat on the back) I've started walking again and try to eat some kind of fruit like a plum first thing in am....... Advice, please and thank you!
Just a thought, did you ever think you would be like your parents or grandparents living to talk about your bowel habits????  Gross! But, that's why you guys are so wonderful!
