Thank you for posting this. I think I really needed to see this today. I too am taking citrucel and having bloat and gas. I take zelnorm, colace and magnesium on top of this. But still no BM.
I have added peaches,pears, papaya, spinach, green beans, carrots and squash, but still nothing but pain.
Maybe I need to try the Acacia instead of turning back to the citrucel even though I know it may be causing problems. Guess it's safer to stick with the problem you know instead of risking making things worse by trying something else.
But perhaps I have reached rock bottom. I mean, what's the worst that can happen if I switched? I already feel horrible! But I am currently up to 6 grams fiber of citrucel and I'm scared to start back down to 1/4 tsp. That is so low compared to where I'm at!
Also, could you give me an idea of how much fruit and how much veggies you have in a particular day? Like a sample daily menu? Perhaps I am not doing enough.
This is a pretty smart group of folks who know their stuff and are happy to share with us. Thanks to all of you.
