Hi, Sarah and welcome!

Thought I'd give you another perspective. I take psyllium (Metamucil) and I'm fine with it even though I used to have problems with bloating and gas. The way I did it was work up VERY slowly, much slower even that Heather suggests on her web page. I started with 1/4 teaspoon per day, then waited a few days and took some more, then gradually increased to 1/4t every day, then gradually increased to 1t per day, then gradually increased to the full recommend dose of 1t 3times per day.

Worked for me! Now I love it and would inflict severe bodily harm on anyone who tried to take it away from me!!
