Hi - you can take the Tummy Fiber right before or right with your meals (or actually sprinkle it on / cook it into your food).

Can you add some small amounts of protein to your soluble fiber foundation? Things like a little peanut or almond butter, or a bit of tuna or chicken breast, or some scrambled egg whites? That will help stabilize your blood sugar and stop the shaky feeling you're getting.

Also, did you start with just 1/2 teaspoon twice daily of the Tummy Fiber and gradually work up to the 1 tablespoon twice daily you're at? If you increased your dose too quickly that could cause bloating.

Are there some foods you crave that we could help you make IBS-friendly? It's a lot easier to want to eat if you're looking forward to it instead of dreading it.

Also, try drinking some very strong fennel tea throughout the day, and especially around the times you're prone to bloating.
