I have used Metamucil for months at doctor's advice. I have suffered severe bloating and gas, which stopped once I started on Acacia two days ago. The Metamucil worked great for my C. Once on the Acacia I have barely gone at all even with taking 3-4 tablespoons a day. I don't feel this is too much because there was no pain, bloating, or gas. I finally took my usual bedtime dose last night of Metamucil which worked for the C but today I have pain. Citracel and Fibercon have not worked that well for me either.
Will the Acacia finally kick in or should I up the dosage?
Another thought, I had totally forgotten my last three doses (Monday night to this morning) of Zelnorm until this morning. I felt better than I have in a long time all day yesterday ( I was on the Acacia also remember). I felt fine this morning until about 45 minutes to an hour of taking a dose. Because this medication works to coordinate the muscles, moisture level, and nerves in the colon I am wondering if this could be part of the problem with the pain I currently have. Anyone else experience this on Zelnorm?
