Supplements: IBS-C

Psyllium is a form of soluble fiber that is crucial for maintaining digestive regularity. One of the functions by which psyllium works is to absorb water, leading to softer stools. Psyllium can also serve as a weight loss aide, as it can help to increase feelings of fullness when consumed with water after a meal.

Recommended Dose: 5-10 g/day

Psyllium

Medium-Chain Triglyceride Oil

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium is an essential mineral that can function as an osmotic laxative, and is commonly used for that purpose. However, various forms of magnesium supplements have also been found to be effective in aiding sleep, which is crucial for muscle recovery.

Recommended Dose: ~400 mg/day

Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil is a supplement that provides more readily usable energy when used in place of other fat sources in the diet. High-quality MCT oil has been found to both increase energy output during exercise and decrease transit time for those with constipation-predominant IBS.

Recommended Dose: 15-20 mL with meals
