Have you given any thought to Heather's acacia? I used to take Citrucel, but I wasn't focusing on the dosage and was only taking two capsules a day. Well, what do you expect, after all my GI just threw it at me and said "here, take this," without any advice as to how much or increasing it or anything, so I took one in the morning, one in the evening -- until Heather made me realize I wasn't taking nearly enough, and suggested I slowly increase it. Instead, I chose to order her acacia -- good choice -- and shortly AFTER I began the acacia I had a lot of gas and bloating, but I realized I wasn't measuring it accurately enough and had in fact begun increasing the dosage too soon.
This is a long way around suggesting that the dosage could have a lot to do with the gas and bloating. When I cut back a tiny bit and MEASURED the stuff accurately, the gas and bloating went away. Now I'm starting to increase the dosage SLOOWWWWLY, and so far no gas or bloating.
Having said all that, I also started on a probiotic about the same time, which really got my poops under control, and I think might have helped a lot with the gas and bloating as well.
Did any of that help?
