How much benefiber are you taking each day? I was taking about 9 pills everyday, 3 w/each meal. My GI told me I was taking too much, & that was most likely causing my C. She had me cut back to taking only 2 pills in the morning, then taking 1 tsp of Fibersure at night. That helped a lot. I started going at least once every other day, sometimes every day. I also found out, from reading the boards, that I wasn't getting enough IF, so I tried adding more cooked veggies to my meals. I was only eating 2-3 bites of veggies before, now I try to have at least 1/2-3/4 cup with my dinner. That helped too. I've been going once/twice every day since I started that. I started taking acacia fiber Tues, but I had to have some tests done so my GI told me to stop taking any SFS on Thurs. I had the tests done today so I'm going to start over w/the acacia tomorrow. I'm anxious to see what happens! Sorry, this was so long, but I hope it helps!
