Citrucel powder vs pills - What helped me!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi, I didn't know how to handle posting this, but I wanted to let

those of you who maybe having a problem know my experience.

Since I had surgery I have been doing Citrucel, Benefiber and to no

avail. I seemed to be having problems with loose stools, not

diarrhea, but aggravating none the less. I then got hemorrhoids, it

was so awful!!!!!!! So I read my manual and did online research, .

everything pointed to more fiber. I was doing Citrucel but I guess

not enough in a day. I then went to Eckerds and got the Citrcuel

pills.

It made a world of a difference within 24 hours, I am so happy I

tried them. I know that it's not the correct way , but the

powder

alone was not doing the trick. I quess with all the things I am

trying to take (supplements, vitamins etc) I wasn't getting

enough

citrucel. Also I work on the road during the day so having the powder

handy was hard. The pills are great I can take them through out the

day and have found RELIEF! Just a tibit I thought might help someone

else.

Only on this site could I post something like this!

See ya

In responce to your message about " Powder vs Pills " , well i posted that i

found out about the pills 1 month after my surgery and i have to say it made

my life a hundred more times more tolerable, i now really dont have much of

a problem with my MGB except a little nausea after i eat.

When i posted my " Discovery " about the pills 2 onths ago, i was immeditally

told that Dr.R says to take the powder to " Coat " the stomach. But i simply

can't get enough of the powder down! So i take 4 - 6 pills a day of

Citrucel, and i do try to still take the powder in a drink daily.

I would not say its " pills vs powder " , i would say try to supplement the

powder with the pills, if you just can't get enough of the powder down, for

me it changed my world, i went from " Not leaving the house " to " Doing

anything i want at almost any time!!!! "

What about using the Benefiber powder instead of Citrucel? Is this okay? I

can't stand the bulk taste from the Citrucel. It makes me gag. The Benefiber

powder is wonderful. If Dr. R says absolutely no, then I will have to suffer

until I can get use to it.

i suggest get used to it..... its not so much the actual FIBER we

need....it is the COATING in conjunction with the fiber...that

citrucel coats that tum tum.! try the citrucel warm...it doesnt

get thick before you drink it that way!

be well
