Hi! I have IBS too, and I'm always clogged.

I've found I have been heaps better since I've been drinking 3-4 litres a day (this sounds like a lot, but goes quickly if you sip all day), and doing at least a little exercise most days. Enough to make me sweat.

I HATE metamucil because of the bloating it causes me. Have you tried normacol?

Something I had found really helpful was a big strong cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I think because it's a stimulant it gets the muscles moving....

I don't know what my triggers are. Seems like even when I'm behaving I'll have really bad days.

I was on prepulsid for a while which was wonderful and seemed to help a lot, until they discovered it causes heart attack!!! Doh!
