I bought this because I heard it might help with my IBS-C, and since I have abdominal pain on a daily basis I got the gelatinized powder because it is suppose to be easier on my stomach... after a couple months of use I did not see any changes with my symptoms, and starting getting increasing stomach pain so I stopped taking it.<br /><br />For those looking for help with IBS-C, here are some things that have helped me:<br /><br />Drink 8-16 ounces coconut water every day, helps keep body hydrated more effectively than just plain water<br /><br />Replace breads and pasta with sprouted grain products (Alvarado Street Bakery has frozen sprouted wheat bagels that are the easiest on my stomach... both in terms of pain and keeping things moving)<br /><br />Replace gummies/candy/ice cream with a toasted bagel with high quality fruit jelly or natural PB with maple syrup. High quality fruit sorbets absorb much easier than frozen ice cream.<br /><br />Prescript Assist probiotics have helped, but avoid taking everyday as too many can block me up!<br /><br />Avoid preservatives/chemicals in food as much as possible, including maltodextrin (in powdered stevia), and carageenan (in nut milk), no gum<br /><br />Slow cooked chicken thighs, using as little liquid as possible, cooking for 6 hours to break down joint cartilege<br /><br />Eating only snacks at work (to avoid stomach pain when I have to be on my feet). Eat a large meal when you are home after work<br /><br />Bath 2 times a day to relax stomach muscles<br /><br />Avoid dairy, except Kefir probiotic drink. Drink lots of hot chocolate... high quality cocoa in hot water with natural sucanant sugar.<br /><br />When all else fails.... invest in an enema bag/bucket and do a warm water enema. It is relaxing and provides immediate relief.
