GENERAL: question about fiber

I was advised by my doctor to take Benefiber. I expressed some concern about the potential for increased gassiness, and he said that if I experience it, then to switch to Citrucel. Well, not only did I experience painful gassiness with the Benefiber, I also experienced bloating and constipation, followed by diarrhea. I decreased the dosage, and it still happened. I have not tried the Citrucel yet because I do not want to go through that again.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I try the Citrucel, or just report this to my doctor when I see him next month? Thanks for any responses.
