Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | what's been working IBS-C

Hi Everyone,
well today is day 3 & I'm still feeling pretty O.K. I just wanted to share with everyone the three things that I've found that are making me feel better. I started these because other people on the board have had success with them so to everyone THANK YOU!!!!

1} WATER WATER WATER WATER. I've started putting a sticky note on my water bottle & now I mark off every bottle that I finish. I'm up to about 64 oz a day & it's making a tremendous difference.
2} SFS. I'm taking 6 grams of benefiber every morning & I really think it's helping.
3} Exercise. I walk about 3 miles 6 days a week & that really helps to get the gas out. I do it first thing in the morning & it's a great way to start the day.

Overall my gas & bloating have gone down & I'm so much more comfortable. I have been watching my diet but found that portion control for me, is even more important than what foods I eat. I think the water has been the biggest help of all.
So once again, thanks everyone for the suggestions & the support. This place is great
Meryl
