Just discovered this site. I, too, have suffered with IBS for many years. Several months ago my primary care physician suggested that I take Metamucil DAILY. -Whenever I comply, there have been no incidents. Then, following a routine colonoscopy the gastroenterologist's office provided me with some literature: this strongly recommends a high fiber diet. It has been a tremendous help for me. Hope your doctors agree with mine. As we know, this is a terribly humiliating and debilitating condition.
