The med can make me constipated and at the same time the BMs seem to not be able to form and it comes out so soft and I have to (sorry for the detail) help it out with toilet paper (lots of it). I am suppose to have fiber to make it form but when I try to have the 4 spoons a say that the Dr wants me to take I just get very very gassy with lots of mucus. How am I suppose to concentrate on my job without worry about having embarrassing issues.I did try to increase the dosage of fiber really fast and had the 4 spoons with in 2 hours. I suppose I should try to break it up. Any ideas or reassurance would be nice.
I also do not eat gluten (because of autism ) and I suspect that I should not eat diary because I get a lot of the muc gas when I have icecream or a shake, etc. I do have nervous stomach and IBS issues.

Have you tried fibregel ? One drink a day should help with the BMs its what is prescribed in the UK you can buy it on amazon its worth a try to give you peace of mind
Have you asked to be referred to a gastroenterologist? I think that would be your next option. You don't say if you have scleroderma. Bowel issues are a major problem in scleroderma. Chin up!
METAMUCIL FIBER IN YOUR DRINK IS GOOD,WHEN YOU FEEL GASSY USE GAS-X,IT HELPS WITH THAT EXPLOSIVE FEELING. I USE 2 AT A TIME. GOOD LUCK! ALSO YOU COULD TALK TO YOUR DR. ABOUR LIBRAX,IT IS VERY GOOD FOR A NERVOUS STOMACH.
