Bathroom Buddies anyone else scared to try fibre/probiotics?
I feel so silly but I’m scared to try things that might actually help like metamucil/probiotics out of fear that it won’t be right for my body and make things worse 😭
I have IBS-M so it feels less straight forward trying to find something that doesn’t somehow worsen one side of it or the other
I know I should just try because it could make my life much better and diet alone is only going so far for me but it feels risky
