i'm an A, mostly D. right now i take 9g (4 and a half chewables) per day, but i'm still working up. i started at one chewable (2g SF), and have been increasing by half a chewable, every 5-7 days.
i do generally have gas as one of my symptoms. i've found, with fiberchoice, that for the first couple of days on an increased dose, i am gassier than usual, and it does feel different from usual ibs action. (and, to be graphic, it smells more than usual.) when i first started on fiberchoice and started experiencing that, i decided (with help of advice from the board) to stick it out, and sure enough, it cleared up within a few days. with increasing the dose, i wait a couple of days after the gas has gone, and then up my dose again.
i've been really happy with fiberchoice - the couple of days of gas is worth, for me, the major convenience - the chewables taste good, don't require me to drink a glass of water with them, and have a good high amount of fiber per dose.
