Dear Alison,
I noted that you said you used Benefiber. Now I know not everyone is the same, but I tried Benefiber after taking Citrucel capsules. I wanted something without all the fillers, but I noticed it brought back my symptoms of gassiness and bloating. So I went back to Citrucel, and now I have the Acacia. I haven't noticed any problem with gas from it, plus it makes me feel "healthy". I don't know how to explain it but it calms my cravings even. Another note, is that I recently became vegan (3 weeks now), and eat a lot more veg. and fruits. Now at first I thought that if I took my SFS then went straight to eating a salad, I would be okay. NOT TRUE. I have realized that even when taking SFS, I need to order my meals with a soluble fiber FOOD first too, then go on to the veg. etc. This lessens my gas considerably. Also if you try to limit dairy, don't get suckered into using only Soy replacements, there are many rice alternatives that don't contribute to gas as soy does. (Though I still eat soy, I just try to vary it all with rice products too). As far as being in public, I just started to warn people at work "Just step away-there is nothing to smell here"...I still have them all as friends, and they appreciate you saving them from it.
