Question about Citrucel (causing me pain)       09/16/03 09:02 PM Edit Reply Quote m1khaela Reged: 09/10/03 Posts: 15 Loc: Brooklyn, NY I know from reading Heather's web page about fiber supplements that it can take time to adjust to a fiber supplement, but I'm wondering if there are warning signs that indicate that a particular fiber supplement is the wrong one. I'm IBS-C and started taking Citrucel two days ago because Metamucil was causing severe pain. The Citrucel isn't yet helping with the pain/bloating/gas (which is understandable since it's just two days) but not only that when I took it this morning before work it immediately started causing so much gas/pain/bloating that I almost missed my train to work because I couldn't stand up I was hurting so much. So basically, I'm wondering--is this a normal adjustment to a new supplement that I just need to put up with temporarily or do I need to try something else? Have other people had this problem with Citrucel? (Would tablets perhaps be a better bet? My local pharmacy doesn't carry anything but Metamucil, Citrucel and Fibercon, but I could try to go to another pharmacy to find something like Benefiber.) thanks Mikhaela (once again, bent over in pain!)
