What does it do/help for? As I'm currently taking fybogel.

I take Fibre Cleanse from Healthspan it's much better than fybogel which is very expensive and far too sweet for me! Fibre Cleanse seems to calm my stomach and has a lot of good reviews for IBS. It has no sweetners, salt etc in fact it doesn't taste all that special if you mix it with water as I do. You can use juice or sprinkle on porridge etc. After a flare up almost two weeks ago I bought some (received yesterday) and already I have had the first 'normal' visit to the loo since the flare up began.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

It's good for constipation but it's worth reading the information about it on Healthspan's website and the reviews.

I'm not advertising for the above business but it's the 'blandest' product I've found.

The name may not be exactly as above but it's made of psyllium (?!) husks.
