Despite the addition of increased fiber to my diet (25g daily, at least), I still sometimes get this feeling like I have an alien baby stuck in my abdomen, and end up with an IBS flare-up.
I looked at Colonix but decided it was out of my price range. Instead, I purchased a 15-day cleanse from Nature's Way (since I have used their other supplements with success, I figured they were a good bet), and started it today. Hopefully it will get rid of my alien baby, and help with my flare-ups. From what I've read about colon cleansing products, it seems to help people with acid reflux and IBS, and I have both. I'm not hoping for a miracle, I'm just hoping that it will clear my system out and I'll be able to reach some kind of normalcy with my digestive system.
We'll see.
As for you, jfelco, I agree with kevpdx--see how much fiber you're getting, and if it's not enough, add a supplement. I really like Citrucel--the capsules, not the powder--and I eat Optimum Slim cereal, which is almost half of your daily fiber needs in one 3/4 cup serving.
