As per topic has any member taken the seeds/powder to assist with IBS?
Elizabeth Alvarez Moderator
I found that for me personally seeds gave me horrible abdominal pain and cramping. I stay away from them at the moment. As far as powders, I haven't truly found one that has worked for me yet. I just recently tried a super green powder to add to smoothies and it left me feeling extremely bloated and sick. I wish I could offer more help but just sharing my personal experience.

Input from other members will be appreciated.

I did a quick search on our website and found that most articles recommending seeds are talking about IBS-C. Here are some examples:
https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/food/sample-meals-constipation
https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/food/pregnancy-nutrition-fodmap (this article is about pregnancy, but it does recommend flax seeds to help with constipation).
What type of IBS do you have?

I have IBS-D
In my case I have much leakage and decided to check on bulking agents.Referring to some web sites I came up with Psylluim Husks or Flax/Lin seeds.The seeds are recommended due to its other benefits.No doubt what is good for one person is not necessary good for another.It is a case of trial and error.
