Hi and welcome! 3 days whooppee!! I'm also IBS/d so I have an idea of how it is. Myself I do not take fiber supplements, bad reaction to Metamucil about 10 years ago and never tried again. Then I talked to an acquaintance of mine who suffers like me and he says to try Prodiem. 1 tsp at night and 1 tsp in the am. I have not gotten my nerve up yet to try it ,(but have bought it), because I don't want to end up like before with cramping and D. I think during school break (spring break) I will try and see how I do. This will give me a week to adjust my body. for extra fiber I don't really worry about it. If I start to feel sluggish or need to up my fiber, I eat more fruit and veggies (cooked), more water and eat 1 slice of 60 % whole wheat bread with a slice of white bread first. Maybe you can try a different brand of fiber supplement, like Heather's acacia. Good luck Sue
