Re: Vitamin or Minerals that help?       01/04/06 08:53 PM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 This is all in Heather's books and on the site, but... Calcium is slightly constipating and good for D. Magesium has a slight laxative effect and is good for C. Be careful with taking extra vitamin C (i.e. for a cold) - it can have a laxative effect too, which you don't want if you're D. And in general, a good multivitamin is recommended for everyone. Some people with IBS are more sensitive to vitamins and can't seem to take any safely. If that's you, try children's vitamins (with NO artificial sweeteners only) or ask your doctor about prenatal vitamins, which are easier on the stomach. Other than that, things like fiber and probiotics are not vitamins or minerals. HTH Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
