Oh Ruchie! You poor girl, that is awful!
Can I ask how long you have been taking Citrucel, and if you've tried any other fiber supplements? I just ask because when I started taking mine, I had terrible, painful gas and bloating no matter what I ate. You might try charcoal tablets too, I just mentioned them in a post to ConcreteAngel.
Have you tried peppermint and fennel teas? The warmth of the tea and the soothing herbs might relax that digestive tract...
Also, I can't drink large amounts of water right before or after a meal without trouble.
I'm not an expert, I am just trying to think of things that have given me trouble. If you want to try plain white rice, without the soy sauce, there are some nice varieties out there with subtle flavors. I make Risotto myself, and add powdered ginger to the rice as I cook it.
You take care of yourself, I am sure someone will post with better answers than mine!
**hugs**
