If you cant shit drink some olive oil
Believe me, when you have IBS shitting is no problem.
It's how it comes out, and how it comes out.
Fiber adds bulk to the stool, and even though I still go more than the average person, it's not spraying everywhere, and I'm not spending 15 minutes wiping diarrhea to get cleaned up after 20-30 minutes on the toilet. I good solid dump takes 5-10 minutes, and a couple wipes b4 I get to move on and wait for the next one.
As for whoever said about some "experts" saying fiber is worse for IBS......it wasn't my regular General Dr. that I take instructions from. I never even talk to him about it much if at all when I see him. It was my GI Dr. who has been practicing for 30+ years....not trying to be a smartass (pardon the pun considering the topic), and works a the largest hospital center in the state for GI issues. That's all they do is GI visits, endoscopies, and colonoscopies. He is also a part-time professor at the State Medical University, I think that qualifies him as an expert/specialist?
I have tried changing my diet many times. To be honest, he told me that advice at 43. I never ate a salad until then. I hate lettuce so much that I used to pick it off my steak tacos from TB, and order burgers without it. I don't like oatmeal either, which is why I mix it dry in my shakes as I can't taste it. I prefer white rice to brown, and real sub rolls to eating a philly steak on bread slices. Switching those things, and taking the fiber drink daily has helped, not hurt my symptoms.
Sorry, for all the long posts. This thread got side-tracked from the injection mixing topic, and I'm OK with that as there has been lot's of advice about two things I rarely talk about on here, cuz one is embarrassing, and the other has skeptics often. Now that I've put everything out there, I'm open to more suggestions, and I say thanks to all for not being dickheads about either subject, and the advices
