Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
It's normal to experience cramp like pain after taking fiber preparation especially if the fluid intake is insufficient.
I would suggest you to consume at least 2 to 3 liter of water everyday. It will provide the much needed relief

I hope it helped

In case you require any further assistance,will be glad to assist you.

Take care
