My doctor believes i have ibs-c. i have a lot of issues with constipation rarely is my stool normal. how do i manage ibs-c besides fiber?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osmotics: Need to add other agents to the fiber. Usually osmotic agents such as polyethylene glycol, lactulose or magnesium salts. Start at low dose and increase to get to goal of one smooth BM every day or so.
