"Took Citrucel for years with no problem (1 tab/day - I am very small/lightweight). Then my doc suggested I switch to Metamucil (1 cap/day) for more bulk when stools were loose. Did so for 2 years. Now back to Citrucel - much less bloating & gas. Also, Metamucil (brand) did not meet heavy metals safety limits, so halfway through, switched to NOW psyllium for better safety record. Same gas & bloating. Staying with Citrucel."

"Citrucel helps bulk the stool when loose. I have gastric issues with coffee and milk products. I put two kitchen teaspoons in one 16.9 oz bottle of water, shake, drink over 15 min. Orange flavored. Originally, I took it daily for several weeks. Now I just take one bottle a day, maybe a second day, then I'm good for several days. (And I love my cereal and milk/lactose-free/plant whatever works.)"

For Constipation "I have constipation from opioids, and this worked really well for me. I took the caplets, and I only need 2 caplets a day, and it works with no side effects. Really happy I found this supplement/drug!"

For Constipation "I have been constipated for many years and have tried many things. None has worked as well as Citrucel powder. Metamucil made me so gassy I had to stop taking it. Citrucel has no side effects for me. I like the original powder and am finding it difficult to find. I don't want to ingest the aspartame in the sugar-free one."
