I have increased my fiber & water 6 months ago to recommended dose. i always get avg.15-25 g a day plus 2l water. i rarely got this growing up because i wasn't paying attention to fiber and i hated drining water. i'm finding i pass gas now. normal?

Yes, high fiber diet produces more gas in the GI tract. You should make a food diary in order to track down the foods which exacerbate the symptom then you reduce those foods.

Now that I'm paying attention to stools more..I'm noticing I get constipated once a month a week before my period and during. Even though I drink 2-2.5 L of water and lots of fiber. Normal? Is senokot safe to take once a month? That seems to help?
Can constipation cause smelly gas when you haven't pooped for 2 days? If so how can I get rid of that? I drink plenty of water and eat fiber.
I am recovering from c-diff (tested positive and had all symptoms) Now I am constipated. Drinking a great deal of water and passing gas. Two Senecot did not help (per doc ok) I am on dificid. I tried more fiber, got very gassy. Suggestions?
Is there anything I can do to drink more water (alternatives?). I know I need it, but I literally hate the taste of water. I need it and fiber.
