Upping the fiber

Started stabilizing on fiber, probiotics, peppermint tea, fennel, etc.  Even had some solidity to my BM's for a couple days.  Ate something I shouldn't have, and talk about a setback!  It's been 3 weeks & I still don't feel as well as I did before I ate the dreaded meal.  I only got diagnosed 2 months ago, so I'm still not sure what my triggers are.  I just feel somewhat bad all the time.  I wouldn't even say I've ever officially stabilized.  Anyway, when I started the fiber, the suggested starting dose (1/2 tsp. twice a day) was WAY too much.  My question is - now that my body is more accustomed to the fiber, can I up it a little faster?  I'm sick of all the "d".  I take everything I mentioned and drink tons of water, so more fiber is the only thing I think it could be.  I take it 3 times a day - 1/4 tsp. - 1/8 tsp. - 1/4 tsp.  You guys know what I'm talking about - when you go to the bathroom & it has solidity & normal color, you feel like you won the freakin' lottery.

I use prodiem (similar to metamucil) and I take 1 tab before bed, you can increase yours, just be prepared for your body to have to adjust to an increase each time you increase, this is normal even for healthy peeps. Gas and bloatedness are signs of your body adjusting to increased amounts...took me 3 month to adjust, well worth the extra bloating and gas I had because now I have no bloating and very little gas.

good luck, take care
