I do not take medication for my IBS. The worst advice I had was to take Metamucil. First off, I get plenty of fiber in a given day. The theory was Metamucil would help make me "regular". And it helps many people, I am not knocking the product. When I took it, my stomach swelled up like I was 9 months pregnant-oh the pain. It felt as though my stomach could be easily popped with a pin. It was absolutely dreadful.
