Hi Heather. I called to order Citrucel and I can't get it since I live in Canada! Gosh I wish I lived in the states. I was wondering what that other soluble fiber supplement is called. What is it again? Sorry I can't find your post that says the name of it. I forgot it starts with a "e" I'm pretty sure. I need to try to order that. I'm also going to try to order Fibercon if I can. I need a soluble fiber supplement badly. I can't believe I can't get Citrucel. Does anything ever work out for me?
Thanks a lot
God Bless

Angel- I had a friend send it to me from N.Y. I am doing fine on the Metamucil-does it bother your system? I don't know if I want to switch now to Citricel.

My doctor hooked me up with a brand called NutriFi made by a company called Pharmanex. It's a mail order thing -- about US$22 a month with shipping. The stuff itself is basically oat fiber, and can be prepared either with hot water or used in cooking. It's not bad. I don't really use it anymore except for cooking, because I found rice helps much more than it did. If you're looking for an alternative though, you might want to check it out.

Hi - You can order Equalactin from Hard to Find Brands This is a great product that people tolerate really well - it's soluble fiber chewable tablets.
I'm so sorry it's so tough to find alternatives to Metamucil in Canada. This is really frustrating.
Best,
Heather

Metamucil really bother me. It's brutal. I get severe gas, gas pains and bloating. It's horrible.

I've been working with a PA at my GI doctors office and she gave a name of what she thought was a pretty new dietary fiber. It's called "Benefiber" and is made by the same company that makes Ex-lax. It's a lot like the clear mix Citrucel. I put it in my morning pepermint tea!!

On fiber supplements, whether it be tablets or powder, can you take 2 tablets and then 2 hours later take 2 more tablets or should you space it out more?
Thanks!

Hi Heather; I wanted to order EQUALICAN from hardtofindbrands but I noticed they don't ship to Canada. I really wanted to try this since results from being good with it with others, and the price is definitely right. Any suggestions.

Hi Louise - There should be a toll free phone number on their site. I've talked to them, and they say they'll ship anywhere in the world, so I'm sure you have them send an order to Canada.
