We're just following each other around the boards today! I have tried fibercon, equalacitin, and benefiber. First two don't give me BM's at all. The benefiber gave me cramps and yucky feeling, but in all honesty I think I tried too much at once and only gave it two days! But I felt horrible.
Also tried citricel capsules, but takes so many of those to get up in fiber grams and wasn't sure if capsules were as effective as powders. I remember Heather stating that somewhere in one of her books.
Just stopped taking Clear Mix citricel because I thought it may be the culprit to my gas and bloating. But it was better for giving me BM's! Trying combo of FiberChoice (only 1/2 or 1 tablet)and Equalactin now, but not happy with this either-no BMs. And it scares me that FiberChoice is the only SFS Heather cannot take!
I'm either thinking of going back to the citricel or trying benefiber starting at a lower dose. I thought since I was already at a dose of 7grams citrucel, that I could try 3 grams fiber worth of the benefiber and supplement the other 4 grams with citrucel or equalactin.
Also considering Metamucil, believe it or not. I know Kandee swears that she needs the psylium in order to have a BM. And Fishnet takes this one as does LS I think. But isn't metamucil notorious for bloating and gas!
Please let me know how the Citrucel Clear Mix works for you. GL with it!
How are you handling your C without any SFS?
