Re: Urgent! PEG fiber supplement       03/16/06 12:18 AM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 PEG is not a fiber supplement; it's an osmotic laxative. Here's some more information about it: PEG - medlineplus So if your daughter suffers from the diarrhea predominant form of IBS, this definitely would not help her. If she's constipated, this would be something you should check with her doctor. Other good fiber supplements are Citrucel (contains methylcellulose which is 100% soluble fiber) and Benefiber (contains guar gum, which is also 100% soluble fiber). Are these brands available in Israel? Maybe the products go by a different name but contain the same ingredients. Acacia can be ordered through this site; I don't know if that's an option for you. Yes, Metamucil (psyllium) is harsh! I believe it's because it contains both insoluble and soluble fiber. You should look for a fiber supplement that contains 100% soluble fiber. HTH!
