Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Yeah it is a bummer, but I will personally vouch for Citrucel Clear Mix

The Citrucel Clear Mix blends well into smoothies, orange juice, cranberry juice, water... just about anything as long as it's not carbonated (which doesn't matter, right, we aren't supposed to be drinking anything carbonated, it can upset the gut). If the liquid is cold, it will take a few moments for the citrucel clear mix to dissolve. In water there is the teeeeeniest tiniest bit of a hint of an aftertaste, but it's easy for me to ignore. I use it as often as I remember and because of this and because this is the first time I've ever tried it, I think my body is still getting used to it. Sometimes I get little bouts of urgencies to run for the bathroom, but the BM is small, soft, and comfortable to pass... which is nice when you suffer from C like I do, but it's really annoying if you're not near an available bathroom. :P I guess the only thing I can suggest is try it and see. I was hoping to god that the money I spent on Beano and generic Gas-X was worth it, and so far both were very much worth it. I think the pros for Citrucel Clear Mix outweigh the cons at least 2:1 imho and in my experiences. And of course, don't forget, your body may react differently to it than mine, who knows? There are so many variables that go into the possibility of "Will this work for me?" that it's impossible to know for sure, but I give it 2 thumbs up.

Good luck.
