Louise and Nancy T - I too had a ton of gas. I tried Benefiber and that gave me more gas. I tried all the others and they gave me more gas than I already had. I now take the methylcellulose in Fibercon (I buy the generic at Wal-Mart--it's much cheaper) and they work fine. I take 2 tablets at the start of each meal. Also, Heather and I figured out that the 500 mg of vit C I was taking w/dinner was giving me the evening gas (it's citric acid). I didn't have gas during the day (unless I ate something I shouldn't have) but was terrible after dinner and all night long (my husband ended up sleeping in the guest room quite a few nights!). I then told her that I took extra vit c 500 mg w/my evening meal. I cut that out and I've been almost gas-free ever since. In the morning, I take my multivitamin and that has 60 mg of vit c and that doesn't bother me w/gas. I guess 500 mg was a bit too much!
So, do either of you take anything with your meals (supplements, vitamins, etc.)? And, like Heather says, it takes a while for "things" to work right, too.
You never know...
