Well, the side effects one is an easy one for me to answer: When I found "my" SFS, there were no side effects. None at all. Now, a little gassiness or cramping on days that you increase your dosage is normal... but what I was experiencing on the "wrong" (wrong for me!) SFS was CONSTANT pain and increased D. I would say that that's not normal.
Choosing a SFS was relatively easy for me. I tried the mixing-stuff-in-a-glass thing and found it was like swallowing glue, so I decided that was out. I can't swallow pills, so something like Citrucel tablets was out too. I wanted a chewable, so I tried Fiber Choice, and ended up really liking them. That's still what I take.
As an A, I can also tell you that I didn't feel like the SFS was doing much for the C until I worked up to a daily dosage of about 8g. I felt so much better at that dosage that I never had any reason to increase higher than that. Even though some people stay at a very low dosage, it's highly unlikely that it's doing much of anything in your system until you've worked up to a higher dose. 12-15g is Heather's general guideline, but like I said, you might find you feel pretty "stable" at 8 or 9g and that's fine too. 
Hope that helped a little!
