Hi all! I found this site about 2 months ago and I'm so pleased that I did. I am so grateful for Heather and her knowledge. My husband is too. No words could express how thankful I am. I can now go out without constantly searching for a toilet. I've read the entire site(I think) and I've tried to do all the right things. I eat right, drink the teas recommended, and I take a fiber supplement(powder in water) twice a day. It's been hard because I live in Germany so the same things aren't as easy to find as in the U.S. but I've managed. My question is: My pains have gone and I go to the toilet more regular now(I suffered from both constipation and diarrhea) but when I go to the toilet it's still very runny. Does this mean I need to take more fiber or less? Or is there something else I'm missing? Please help...! I don't have the pain but I still have to run to the toilet sometimes because it is runny. I am flying to the U.S. in 4 days to visit my family for Christmas. I'm hoping to fix my problem before I go because flying is always an anxiety filled event for me. If I fix this problem then maybe I can fly freely without the IBS seriously affecting me. Thanks for listening!

Chas - Hi and welcome to the boards!

I think it would be a good idea to bump it up. What dose are you at now?
