Citrucel Fiber Therapy for Regularity 500 mg - 240 Caplets

My doctor told me to take 2 caplets at night to add bulk. I thought this product was used to loosen not bulk up and the last thing I needed was to loosen. It worked and now I use 2 caplets faithfully each night. Citrucel is good both to loosen if constipated and bulk if too loose. The caplets are so easy to swallow. They are not too big. I didn't like the powders that you mixed with water at all. I highly recommend this product.

I am re-ordering, as my first order was just for one bottle to try it out. I am paraplegic and have bowel issues at times. Lately I've been confined to bed rest which has played havoc with my system. But I'm sold on this product. I still am taking some stool softeners, but they just weren't enough before... and certainly not on a liquid diet and lying down all the time! This product is now going to be part of my supplement regime from now on. I take two in the morning and two at night currently, and all is going well.

It works, but doing so has been variable for me. 2 tablets did it the first time, then not the next 3 times so I took it twice one day. Then it worked a "little too well." Thankfully, I was at home. I switched to Citrucel two months ago from two other generic, non-fiber constipation brands -especially when I am first travelling overseas- which were Docusate sodium based. I switched because Citrucel (claims) 500 mg of fiber per pill. Fiber is an equally effective colon cleanser and, when used on a regular basis, reduces the incidence of colon cancer. I now use 1000 mg of Citrucel 1-2 times weekly for this purpose regardless of travel, plus it aids in flushing my colon.

I have used Citrucel for a long time but the sugar in the regular powder, and the artificial sweetener in the sugarless powder (not to mention how fast it gets thick and gross) was a drawback. My sister suggested the pills. I didn't think they would work as well, but four pills, with very big glass of water does the trick. I'd never go back to powder!

My doctor recommended this for me and this is the best place to buy based on price and ease of subscription with Amazon.
