Hi Scolio
Thank you for the message and the information.
I have been taking probiotics for years, but then I switched to the Florastor probiotic last summer once I received my Cdiff diagnosis, based on the recommendation by my gastro doc. It does have clinical proven research. I have tried different grains and I have no problem with them. It is only tapioca that causes me issues. I eat a lot of spinach, kale, bananas, and strawberries. I did take psyllium husk for years and then my GI recommended that I try Citrucell fiber instead...I guess it works better in your system.
I now know that I cannot do decaf coffee anymore...the bowels movements are significantly more in a very short time. I made the mistake of having a decaff, dairy free latte on Saturday morning and I have 4 bowel movements in the first three hours. I then had to take a medication called Hycosiamine to stop the movements and I was fine all day yesterday. Even a couple of pieces of chocolate will set off my IBS.
