Hi--I've been in a bit of a flare-up for the past 3 years, and recently stumbled upon the website. I have the acacia fiber and the peppermint capsules. I used the fiber--1/2 tsp a day for 5 days, in applesauce, lots of water and mint and chamomile tea, plus peppermint caps. I had the worst cramps and then minty poo for days. I eat a pretty healthy low-fat diet, and while I have D almost every day (except for 2 days when I take loperamide), I almost never have (painful) cramping. It's more like an ache. My GI doctor has me on Librax, which is better than nothing, but it still doesn't stop the D. Should I try try 1/4 tsp of fiber per day?
