I don't think that Citrucel uses real orange to get the orange flavor. It does sometimes use citric acid, which of course is acidic, and which can trigger heartburn for some folks. The sucrose shouldn't be a problem. But, the color and flavor all require additives, and you could be sensitive to them.
You might try the clear and see if it works better for you. Or, try Benefiber, which has no added ingredients at all, just soluble fiber. You might actually have the best luck with Equalactin or Fibercon pills - they seem to be tolerated better than the powders by people who are sensitive to the filler ingredients.
Best,
Heather
