Fiber

I have IBS, and struggle with constipation. Nothing I've tried has worked! What can we eat for fibers? I just started solids this week.

Beans have fiber and also source of protein. Can you take a supplement like benefiber?

Also try adding in probiotics. They totally help my IBS issues.


What are the best probiotics to use? I also have IBS


One excellent one that cured me of chronic diarrhea once is Prescript Assist, Amazon carries it. It is soil based and it gets where it's supposed to in the intestines.

Definitely take magnesium before bed too.

I have constipation issues, so I don't know if it'll help me.

So I'm one month out and just started doing 1/8 cup oatmeal (my nut is good with oatmeal) with a spoon full of ground flax seed in it. And it seems to be helping! I've tried milk of magnesia and stool softners but this seems to help best so far.


I have issues with constipation as well and try to eat fiber one cereal, prunes, and oatmeal. At least one of these foods every day. It's helped me quite a bit. Also, I'm not sure if yogurt helps, but I eat yogurt every day.

I have to drink smooth move tea every night to keep things moving. 6 months out.

I've been drinking a glass of prune juice every morning


I have the same issues, I combat them as best I can with probiotics that mix into anything, and every day I drink kefir milk to help colonize my GI tract. I also eat prunes occasionally, they are sugar laden but delicious and a great way to handle a sugar craving


Chocolate chia pudding is my new fiber source. Yummy. Google it. Chia is all fiber.
