yea i strted thinking that soy might be part of the problem-i tend to forget it's a bean. But i was gonna try using Beano- have either of you ever tried it? As for the oatmeal, i did get instant, but just today saw it said "whole grain." Missed that minor detail...Is this still a more tolerable form, or does it have to be instant and not whole grain? I will start adding in some IF, but how much SF with/before IF is enough? I just ordered the Tummy Fiber so hopefully that will help. Augie, with regard to bloating, did you see the recent post about it in which someone recommended the yoga poses? I havent tried them, but I, porb like you, am desperate to get rid of it, so I plan on giving them a whirl. Good luck with yours! And thanks to y'all so much for your help!
