Common: May need to more slowly increase and add fiber to your diet. Some fiiber supplements cause more gas than others & you may have try different ones (metamucil vs. Citrucel vs fibercon, etc.).

Hi gh fiber: Foods with inadequate fluids or excessive caffeine or alcohol will cause your symptoms. Drink 80-100 ounces of caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily, more if you exercise.
