I'm actually increasing the fiber pretty quickly... well, compared to how I struggled with the citrucel, REALLY quickly, heh. I did 2g/day with no problem for maybe 4 days, so I bumped it up to 3g, and I'm still having no problems. I figure I'll keep increasing at that rate unless I get some kind of sign that I shouldn't, LOL!
Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I have gotten quite a bit better already. My "bad days" aren't nearly as bad as they used to be. I still have the urgency, and I still feel shaky and weak afterwards, but I don't get straight D anymore, nor do I have the cramping. So I guess that's improvement. 
And yeah, I think you're right that some of it is still because I'm getting used to things and trying to figure out what I can and can't eat. The strangest things don't sit well with me (toasted marshmallows?? huh?), so I finally broke down and started keeping a food diary. I'll get it right yet, darn it.
You know, it's funny... I've had this for so long, and I don't think I've accepted it yet, either. I keep thinking I'll find the right combination of things and never have a problem again as long as I live, and I know how unrealistic that is... but I'm not accepting it yet, either.
Sorry to hear you've still been having some bad days. Hope you're feeling a bit better & enjoy the rest of your weekend. And don't apologize for rambling... that's what we're all here for, isn't it? Heh.
