Do you drink sugar sodas or diet? I've heard from other people that artificial sweeteners make such issues worse. I've cut down my drinking of Diet Coke for other reasons (kidney stones D: ), but I haven't been able to totally cut it out.

But fiber is so painless. I thought the twiggy cereal would taste awful, but it's really not bad at all. I use vanilla soy milk with it, which helps, too.

I used to have to take imodium every day, now I've taken it once in the last month. (Nerves, I think. The first day headed onto the cruise.) It's a wonderful thing, I hope it works for you, too!
