Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hey, MAGS! Citrucel Question

Is Super Cleanse a soluble fiber supplement? How much fiber does it have? How much were you taking? If switching from that to the Citrucel is the same amount of fiber, then you're good to go. 1 teaspoon isn't very much, but it's a good start. You don't want to start off with too much at first or you'll have problems.

I used to take the Citrucel capsules, which are (I believe) half the dosage of the powder. When I switched to the acacia, I started off at 1 teaspoon twice a day, which was really double the dosage I was taking with the Citrucel capsules. I did okay until I started increasing that dosage too soon.

Miss Mags is our Citrucel Queen, so I've directed this post to her, because she'll have more answers for you. Since I never took the Citrucel powder, I wasn't aware it had a taste. EW. The Acacia has no taste, thankfully. Why not try it in a nice flavorful tea that will overpower the taste of the Citrucel? That's what I'd do, maybe a nice Green decaf tea (it tastes GOOOD) or something powerful like Constant Comment (you could use that stuff for potpourri!). Heather's incredible peppermint would be an excellent choice too.

Mags will help you some more, I'm sure.
