Equalactin vs Acacia?

Hi Dana,

I can only answer your first question. I don't know the answer to your second.

Equalactin is too expensive to take as a replacement for your powder. I did a post about this a few days ago in which I figured out the cost of Acacia versus Equalactin, and there was no comparison; Equalactin turned out to be something like three times the cost. Also -- and here's the rub -- you'd have to snarf down a bazillion tablets of Equalactin to get enough of the same amount of fiber that you would get from the powder, whether it's Citrucel or Acacia.

By the way, I switched from Citrucel to Acacia; good choice. But one gal here, who did the same, switched back. It's a personal thing, and it's pretty much trial-and-error. Frankly, I can't mix that Citrucel in water and watch it thicken and then get it down me; I'd gag on it. And don't get me started on the taste!

Acacia has no taste, and it doesn't thicken. It's extremely cost-effective as well. A $10 supply lasts me approx. 2-3 months (I'm increasing the dosage, so it's changing).

Hope someone else can answer your second question.

Bev
