normacol
What is Normacol?
Normacol is a fiber supplement made from sterculia, a natural plant fiber. Normacol Plus, which comes in a differently coloured packet to the original Normacol, contains sterculia and frangula, a laxative.
What symptoms does it treat?
Normacol is recommended for both diarrhoea and constipation, as it can add bulk to the stool for diarrhoea sufferers, and make stools softer and easier to pass for constipation sufferers.
How is it taken?
Normacol comes in the form of white granules which are either swallowed with water or mixed into soft foods such as yoghurt.
REVIEWS OF NORMACOL
Review by Sue 
I have alternating IBS. I found Normacol to be helpful with the constipation but then I continued to suffer with intermittent diarrhea so it didn't really work too well for me. I imagine if you only have IBS-C then it might work really well...good luck! I am going to try Heather Van Vorous' acacia fiber now! Wish me luck!

I've had IBS since I was 12 (I am now 24). I was prescribed Normacol two years ago and it has made a huge difference to my quality of life. I have mainly constipation-predominant IBS and I was only opening my bowels twice a week or less. Since I started to take Normacol I have become much more regular (usually once a day) and have a great deal less pain. This is a great product as it works very well, doesn't taste bad, has no nasty chemicals added and you can change your dose as needed.

I suffer regularly from constipation and I find this product works within 12 hours of consuming it. I do find though the more water you drink with this product the better it works.
