Well, I just checked Heather's info about SFS and she says each Fibercom contains 1/2 gram of fiber. Here's what she says about how much to take:
For the soluble fiber pills (Equalactin, Citrucel, Fibercon): Start at 2 pills twice daily and work up to 2 pills six times daily, or the equivalent of 12-15 grams soluble fiber supplement per day.
So it sounds like it might be good to start increasing your dose... but very slowly, so you don't get too gassy or bloated! Maybe up it by one pill each week or something like that... and if it doesn't feel right to your body go back down until you feel ready.
As for what to do tonight, just stick to whatever has always been safest for you! Personally I just drink lots of peppermint tea and water and eat pretzels and toast when I feel sick. As a matter of fact, when I was doing pretty badly about a year ago my gastro told me I should buy stock in Rold Gold. 
Whatever you do, I hope it works. Hang in there!
