[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2305080, member: 521715"] I have had both IBS and diverticulitis. The former was mostly triggered by stress. Both were helped/resolved by taking milled flaxseed, 1-3 tablespoons a day in yoghurt. It did take a good few days to have an effect but I found them miraculous in simultaneously firming up the loose, and loosening up the firm. Once things are on a more even keel then the amount can be reduced. Its worth trying different amounts and seeing what works for you. Make sure you take extra fluid, for example a glass of water or cup of tea at the same time. My surgeon told me to use flaxseeds as they are soluble fibre. A lot of wholemeal stuff and added fibre is insoluble fibre which passes straight through or blocks up [/QUOTE]
