Message: <blockquote data-quote="sorchao" data-source="post: 2398046" data-attributes="member: 512341">Laxatives tend to be contraindicated in IBS, depending on whether you’re D, C or A, so I would check with your doctor before trying any. I used to use Fybogel and ended up asking for an alternative because it was just so messy, especially when out and about, so have been using Normacol instead for several years (NOT Normacol Plus, which is a laxative!) It’s like small pieces of stericula ‘gravel’ that you swallow with water. It’s gluten-free and the packet says it does have sugar in it, too, although I haven’t been able to find out how much, to compare to Fybogel, sorry.The flax/linseed/chia might be a better alternative, though, as you know you’re not getting any added stuff to stabilise it in the packet.</blockquote>
