HI,Dear !! Thanks for the updates to your query .
Read and reviewed your query in context to your health issue.

My Impression-
Dear,In view of the facts of query and of the updates,I would suggest you to use following plan-
-for the weight reduction you wanted to opt for use the Fruit and Fiber product from the retail shops.
But it seems from your complaints that the high fiber in the product is causing food Intolerance with stomach cramps with its repeated but guarded use.
This could be reduced and more digestable-
by adding pre-biotic-apple cider vinegar-to make the fibre content more digestible.This would be more healthy addition as it would allow to enjoy the fruit and fibre product, but Apple cider Vinegar,would help in burning fat and would help in fast reduction of the obesity problem.

-Even after this if are not able to tolerate and cramps continue-You should stop it and test your self for the wheat -gluten intolerance,which could cause the cramps in your case.
High gluten content in Fruit and fibre product, could be the cause of the Stomach cramps in your case.
To improve the protein content of the Fruit and fibre-like products increase the Vital gluten contents of these products, to make it more healthy for reducing the body weight ,which may cause stomach cramps in few cases like you-with Celiac disease-a disease of wheat -gluten intolerance.
If the intestinal biopsy test comes positive, then you should stop-this Fruit and fibre product and you need to take gluten free diets using oat and rice flour,there after.

The above interesting facts would help you to use the above interesting option to be tried and get benefit of enjoying the Fruit and fibre brand high fibre diet and enjoy the weight loss benefits from the optional way suggested to use high fibre diet.

So you should be concerned and need to take steps on above suggested lines.

-Next appointment for Review-after 2 weeks
I would ask you to work on these lines suggested and come back to ME for a review -if need be, on the updated progress in complaints,after a period of 2 weeks ,for further evaluation of your treatment planning.

Dear,Hope this comprehensive and detailed reply would help you to resolve your health issues with help of your doctors there.
