It's been a long time, so I don't remember how quickly I increased, but I think I bumped it up a notch (1 gram's worth) every 4 or 5 days.
It's really up to you if you stay with Citrucel or go back to Fibercon, but keep this in mind: the capsules/caplets are really not a cost-effective way to do it. If you work up to taking 12g, that's 24 pills a day! You're better off using a powder supplement - acacia is the most cost-effective one of all, but even Citrucel powder is going to be better than the caplets.
Don't be afraid. Despite all the marketing that pushes fiber supplements as "laxatives", it's not going to make your D worse. If anything, it's just not going to make a difference at all until you work up to a higher dose.
