After reading Heather's book, I wanted to cry. Not that I'm an over eater, it's just all the "junk food" that I love I had to give it, I was a donut, cookies, cakes, danish person. I read the book and I have had IBS diagnoses for almost 25 years. Yes, 25 years, I promised my Mom I would follow her advise for 4 weeks and I did, I'm now in my fifth week. In the 4 1/2 weeks I've been following the diet, I have had 3 episodes, I'm a diarrhea, cramping, labor pain IBSer, which I usually would have 4-5 in a week. That was wonderful. However I did not know how much Citracel, which is my choice of soluble fiber to take, I should be taking, I did read on her web site. I have only been taking one in the evening, how should I increase this without hurting myself. Also, when you have an attack, do you still continue taking your soluble fiber supplement and eat the "easy" list foods? I had a sever attack last night and my colon is still in quite a bit of pain this morning and I'm afraid to eat or take my fiber, any suggestions. Please e-mail me privately. Thanks
