haha thanks ladies! overcoming ibs is such a daunting task. To answer some of the questions.. I am keeping a food diary, and nothing that I've ate is out of the ordinary or off of the diet, aside from the apple. But I ate the apple after a pasta dinner, so I had soluble fiber in me. I've wrote down the times I take each supplement, how often I go to the bathroom and exactly the texture and/or pain etc that accompanies it.. hmm what else.. I also write down everything I eat, and at what times etc.
As for fiber.. I started taking fibercon and I was fine in regards to bloating gas etc.. I was only taking one pill three times a day however, and working up to four times a day when I stopped. I switched to acacia instead because most people on the boards said I'd have to take TONS of pills and that its better to switch to powder. I've been on acacia about a week and I'm taking 1tsp in the morning and 1/2 tsp before dinner as of now. I am not experiencing gas or bloating on acacia either. However, neither the fibercon or acacia have changed my stools dramatically. I'm just getting frustrated, and I know I know it takes time, but I've had this since I was sixteen. I've rushed into the bathroom at least once in every single store in this town (and this is a big town with lotsa stores) with major D attacks. However, since joining this website that has occurred less and less. I have also noticed that I no longer have a serious urge to go RIGHT after I finish eating which was so often the case before. However, I still gotta go PRONTO whenever I have to go.
Any help or ideas..
