Day 5 of opti - gurgling stomach
Yeah, sorry not sure. Hopefully it'll work itself out and tomorrow will be a better (quieter) day. :)

Do you think it could be from the Metamucil that is causing all the rumblings? I was on opti for 3 weeks and was lucky enough that I didn't suffer from any of the side effects, and didn't need to take Metamucil or anything. Maybe try not taking the Metamucil and see if that helps. My centre, like yours, didn't allow for any extras. I drank lots of water and would save a shake and make it into a pudding and eat it at night as a snack. You should find in the next couple of days that it gets easier...its the first week that is the killer.
Good luck with everything.

You can add ice and blend it, or just less water and blend, until it is thick. It wont be as thick as a real pudding, but should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.

I think you might have hit the answer to your issue with the sugar free products......sugar alcohols kill me....so I go very easy on S/F products
....but....if you are enjoying them and they are helping ease the opti phase.....then maybe just live with the gurgling....or ease up a bit on the jello and freezies
