Hello and Welcome. I am also IBS C. I was on zoloft, than Wellbutri and this spring I switched to Lexapro. I prefer the Lexapro over the others and it doesn't make me more constipated. I have had acid reflux since having my gall bladder out 3 years ago, I control that by taking one prevacid before bed. I agree with the others about the dairy, I have been tested and am NOT lactose intolerate but anything dairy makes me more gassey and the constipation worse. I prefer the ricedream "milk" over the soy milk, just my personnel taste. I eat oatmeal evey day for breakfast, its a great source of fiber and seems to settle my tummy, maybe give it another try. Exercise and water are crucial for IBS C. Magnesium supplements might help as well. Someone had a good idea about switching to bebefiber and be sure to take the maxium dose. Hope you start feeling better.
