Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Benefiber doesn't work for C?

Hi there! I haven't been here for a couple of weeks, but still on the diet and also taking SF-supplements again (benefiber)

I'm doing pretty good, much better than I was.
I found out my nausea is reduced by eating according to the EFI diet.
My gastrics pains seem to be reduced by eating less fructose.

I'm now trying to put more IF in my diet (some cooked veggies), but it's pretty hard to find out. I'm still eating mostly courgette and carrots.. (and just banana for fruit)

I've been slowly adding benefiber and now I'm taking about 10g fibers a day (max is 15g), in 3 portions.
I'm also still using forlax (macrogol), and I haven't been able to reduce it.

I don't think the benefiber is working for my constipation? Because I can't reduce the forlax...(still between 1-3 sachets a day)

Should I keep on adding to the maximum dose Benefiber to find out if it's going to work? Or try something else (metamucil?)
I did use metamucil for 1 week, which made my symptoms only worse (but I didnt built up slowly back then)

(Also started hypnotherapy, have had 3 sessions now, but not sure if it's doing something already.)
