Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I know this has been discussed before, but here goes anyway. I can't stand the taste of Colace stool softner. It burns my throat something awful and the terrible taste stays in my mouth for the next 6 hours. My gag reflex in working strong when I take it but I have not thrown it up yet. Any suggestions of what I might take in place of the Colace? Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what is recommended. It doesn't have a bad flavor and can be mixed in different things. Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Carol, At Vitalady's web site ( www.vitalady.com ) she sells Liquafiber, which she swears by. I really trust the products she () recommends because she's a WLS surgery patient and has kept her weight off for 10 years. She also only sells products she has researched and tried herself. Liquafiber is one she uses on a regular basis. I've reprinted the "blurb" from her web site below, so you can see the info and possibly order it. It's under "Vitamins and minerals" on her web site. I guess *some* of these types of fiber blocks absorption of vitamins, minerals, and/or protein.

Can be added to any of your favorite hot or cold beverages or foods and will not alter the original flavor or texture. Sugar, Lactose and Gluten Free. 32 servings / bottle.*** DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ABSORPTION OF ANY PROTEIN, VITAMIN OR MINERAL SUPPLEMENT *** Colace I know this has been discussed before, but here goes anyway.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Laurie, Thank you so much for the info. I will order some of this, but in the meantime I will continue with the Benefiber. It seems to work good and mixes great with yogurt and applesauce. CarolLaurie Warner wrote: Carol, At Vitalady's web site ( www.vitalady.com ) she sells Liquafiber, which she swears by.
