I got my natural psyllium at the regular drug store. It's called "Original Konsyl." Really helps the IBS.

I found out my IBS was actually a wheat intolerance!!!! After almost 20 yrs of suffering it seems I have Celiac disease! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO AVOID THESE FOODS!!! It is actually a pretty common diet intolerance, worth a try....went gluten free about 5 days ago, and I have never gone this long without one of my "attacks". All this time I thought anxiety was the cause, but it seems this was a cause for my anxiety!!!

I bought some Metamucil the other night and it is working great. I take it right before I eat dinner and I have no issues for that evening on through the next day.

hunnie33,
Yes I know it is worse exactly 2 weeks before I start my period. That's kinda how we figured out what it was cuz I was having pains and bloating before my period and we had no idea what was going on.

I found that a raw vegan/vegetarian diet helps immensely in this area. At first you might get a little detox in the intestines while the body adjusts to eating fresh foods, but after you get over that hump everything regulates. You can google raw food and IBS or Paul Nissan or Raw food & Chron's Disease to get more info, I'm not sure if links are acceptable here.
I agree that wheat is a huge trigger with IBS. Also spicy foods.
