Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hi - I'm back...one problem tho...

Hi everybody - Well our trip was great but I was really constipated. Didn't "GO" from Tuesday until Friday. I kept taking my fiber supplements (and even one of my sisters-in-law wanted some because she was plugged up too). This always happens when I go on a trip for the first few days I think because I'm so tense and I tend to tense up my muscles all over because of it. Anyway, I kept eating all the soluble fiber I could get my hands on. They all wanted me to drink prune juice and I told them they didn't really want me to do that and then stay in the same house and car with them and explained why. They probably thought I was nuts eating all the flour tortillas and breads I could find. I took my fiber pills and tortillas with me so I wouldn't feel guilty about wanting to go to the grocery store every few days. I've been fine since. But, I couldn't believe how hard my abdomen was. Luckily, we can talk about anything (there were 4 women and 1 man and he kept his mouth shut because he was outnumbered.) But I kept my mouth shut when it was a Portuguese thing because I was outnumbered!!!!
