i love those fig newtons, but can't eat 'em! as you can see from the reponses you've gotten, we all have different triggers. one of mine is Fig Newtons. Darn it! guess it explains why i used to get D all the time when i was on Weight Watchers, huh!?
i will say what probably has already been said (sorry, my concentration is off and i haven't read all your replies thoroughly... well, i did but didn't retain. ):
Equalactin rocks hot water bottles are your friend go back to the soluble fiber basics ( the staples ) 'til the D passes
