Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in. When I first started using the Citrucel, I was doubled over in pain too. However, after about a week or two of this and no BM's, I realized I was taking the fiber supplement and eating ONLY soluble fiber---oatmeal, bread, rice, potatoes, etc. I was too afraid to eat any insoluble fiber! You cannot do this! No wonder I was doubled over in pain! Once I started SAFELY adding in insoluble fiber, the pain and bloating gradually subsided and BM's started happening. And for some reason, I have discovered that the Clear Mix Citrucel does not work for me, but that the orange mix Citrucel works beautifully! I stupidely just bought another can of the Clear Mix (it was on sale) and after 2 days of it, I'm back to my C again. So I went back to the drugstore and bought the regular orange flavored again. Hope you get this figured out.
