Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 don't know, faith... when in Dec. did you have surgery? if you are 2 weeks out you can begin semi solid food like oatmeal cream of wheat cottage cheese, peanutbutter on those crackers. the citrucel.... it is (IMO) critical to digestive health and pouch protection. i get up in the AM and mix my teaspoon with 2 ounces hot tap water in a bathroom dixie cup and stir and throw it back in one shot. i do it again before i brush my teeth at night. i use the orange flavor and it is kinda like russian tea when it is warm (tastes like tang) it doesnt get thick when in warm water. i now you are tired of it, but try to get the citrucel in...... my gastro guy told me if everyone began taking citrucel at 30 (daily) then he would be out of business! he said 99% of gastro problems come from not eating correctly and, thus, causing irreguularity-- be it constipation or diarrhea which, in turn, causes distress strain and irritation of the entire digestive tract. so... go throw back the citrucel! you deserve to have it easy from here on out! be well cathy s in va > Just saying Hi. > > I had my surgery in Dec and am just now making my way to the post op > boards. > > I'm sick of citrucel... like hold my nose and gag sick of it. > Gatorade is kind of burning my throat when I drink lots of it.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I hated the Citrucel too-I got the Citrucel clear and drink it in a sugar free fat free hot chocolate twice a day and I don't even know it's in there! I have also tried it with a cup of hot crystal light lemonade and it's not bad. Good luck! Ruth VanBlankenstein vanb@...
