Never did any good for me and I persevered for a good while with it on doctor advice years ago now. If anything it made me worse but I find I have to be really careful with fibre, as it seems to be a trigger for me(which is ridiculous when fibre is meant to be good for you).

I think it just sat in my gut and turned to concrete 🤣 along with the lactulose I was prescribed too was doubled up in pain . Fed up of being told to eat more fibre , drink water etc , wish it was that simple x

Yes I know, they make it sound so simple don't they? If fibre and water was the answer it would be great but it's not....when are they going to figure that out?! I don't go to doctor about my IBS now, haven't for years.
