Thanks Syl, I had read about the insoluble/soluble fiber ratio so was wondering about it. Very interesting.
--------------------
IBS-C Started out of the blue end of May 2010. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and GI problems are pretty common with that. I've been fairly lucky up til now.

I had heard of them but not in relation to IBS-C. Interesting.

It's interesting especially since this has a lot of soluble fiber. I'll read some more comments and see what else I can find out. When I'm cramping the last thing I want is soluble fiber.

I alternate between c and d and right now I'm back to a c. I'm about to start back on the tummy fiber. It does the trick. But you have to start off in small doses.

I alternate between C and D. But the EFI diet and teas have helped me a lot!

The tummy fiber has saved my life. I just stay on it all the time or I'd never go to the bathroom. I do use senna every few days but I'm fine with that. The fennel tea really gives me horrible gas so I cannot use that at all. I find I'm better with smaller meals more often although sometimes I eat more than I intended and have some bloating. What is the EFI diet? I use the basic one posted here.

The EFI diet is this one. Eating For IBS. The fennel tea made me bloated at first, but then once I got used to it, it actually reduced the bloating.

OH yeah duh! Yes the diet is huge. I had no idea prior to my IBS about the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. Saved me. I actually don't bloat much unless I eat something I shouldn't. The problem with the Fennel tea is just too much for me to deal with. I'm at a point where I can deal with using the fiber and senna every few days so that is a relief.
