Benefiber dosage question

I need to fart!!!!!

I bought my first jar of Benefiber today! I have some trapped gas and need to start things going so I can get rid of all the gas I've been trying to pass.

So my question is this-- on the jar, it says that the dose of Benefiber capsules is 3 pills. I've taken one. Is that enough, and how long does it take to work, based on your experience?

I've become intolerant to Citrucel, one capsule of which will give me 3 days of aches and dripping sweats before it starts to work. It usually starts a D attack and complete evac. Is Benefiber any better?

I don't want to invest in anything more expensive, as I take maybe 2 tablets of soluble fiber a year only when I'm in serious need of it.

(Regarding the trapped gas pains, I can't use fennel or peppermint because they aggravate my GERD.) THANKS for your responses ahead of time!
