thanks for the suggestion but counter intuitively bran is one of the worst things for people with IBS-C. It's very high in insoluble fibre which often causes a lot of pain. Soluble fibre (Metamucil, oats, potatoes etc.) is the recommended alternative. I tried that also and predictably it did zip. It does cause less pain though.
