Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
Your hunch is right - you're not taking enough to help with a BM. 4 Citrucel capsules, if they're the same capsules I used to take, is only 2g of fiber a day - a long long way from the 12-15g a day Heather's guidelines recommend. (Not everyone needs to take that much, incidentally - I think a lot of people around here stabilize around 9-10g/day. But still... 4 capsules probably isn't enough to do anything.)
I'll let Karen tell ya how much she's taking, though. I'm not taking Citrucel anymore, so I don't have any real input on how much it takes to be effective.
