I think a lot of what helps is mind related. And now that I've read that you had no help from it, I'm expecting it won't work for me now either.
Sometimes I wonder if I should stop visiting this board. Everyone is different and the advice is too confusing and hopes are dashed with one response.
I don't understand how stopping IF helped your C as IF is pushed for folks with constipation. Over and over again the C folks are told to add as much IF as they can.
If youv'e visited the websites, this herb as been used in different countries throughout many years for constipation. I don't know how all these people could be wrong for all these years.
I know you were just adding your experience to the post, but it was hard for me to read that yet another idea I thought would help me is going down the drain. It's been a bad day, and I am just taking this letdown very hard. I just want to cry from all this IBS "crap". I just want to feel better and I really thought the triphala would help. I wish I hadn't seen your post. Nothing personal. Just having a bad day and wish I hadn't seen my hopes dashed.
