"I have been taking the Citrucel tablets on and off for 3 years now. Honestly, I don't know why I stayed on it for so long. I started Citrucel because when I had a colonoscopy done 3 years ago, the doctor told me to take it for constipation because I have ongoing, consistent constipation. Citrucel does NOT help me, nor do the other laxatives. I started taking apple cider vinegar (with the mother), and that seems to be helping my digestion and constipation."

Methylcellulose "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!"

"Although it did seem to help a bit, the day following taking Citrucel, the joints in my fingers feel arthritic. I won't take it anymore. This has happened more than once."

Methylcellulose "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."
