| Re: main symptom is nausea!
Nausea is not an IBS symptom but constipation certainly is.
Nausea is the pneumogastric nerve acts up to try to get rid of something that you ate. It could be gastitis.
To have normal BMs everyone needs 25 to 35 grams of fiber in their diet.
It needs to be a combination of both soluble and insouble fiber.
All meats, seafood and all dairy products contain NO fiber.
Insoluble fiber causes the intestinal muscle to contract and move food through your intestines and soluble fiber absorbs fluid and bulks up your stool.
Insoluble fiber is all fruits, veggies, nut, seeds and the bran in cereals and the out side of beans and peas.
Soluble fiber is the inner part of grains, beans, peas and root veggies, also-- water soluble fiber supplements like Metamucil, Citrucel, Benefiber and Fiber Choice.
Most people don't intake enough soluble fiber in their diet.
It is OK to take a fiber supplement like Metamucil -- it's natrual, and breakdown with digestion --ferments but causes gas when you first start using it--- so start off slow.
Also -- you need to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily--- your body is made up of 80% water ---other fluids have to be worked on by your liver to come up with water for your body to use.
I wish you well~~~Harry
