I’ve had chronic IBS and associated problems most of my life. My solution to this is to take 1 tbsp of soluble fiber daily; works great. If you’re into supplements, you can also add 1 tbsp of Natural Calm, which is a magnesium supplement (Mg is a natural laxative). The psyllium-based fibers are too rough for me. Look for a soluble fiber that doesn’t have sugar or sweeteners and that isn’t wheat-derived. Apple pectin or glucomannan are other options. Increasing fluid intake slightly is also helpful.
