Citrucel

[AmandaD]

Anyone here take Citrucel to help with looser bowel movements?

Nope. My husband takes Konsyl.

I take the Citrucel caplets, I am sorry to say. A new problem and am seeing a GI right before Thanksgiving.

They have no gluten in them.

i have tried it, but didn't have the patience to stick with it long enough to see if it would "settle down". Basically it was far too strong for me at first, so I threw in the towel pretty quickly. People say it works though, so if you have the patience, and don't react too drastically to it, I'd try it for a couple weeks. I found fibercon to be a lot gentler, although I'm not sure how much it helped over all.

Did it actually GIVE you diarrhea?

I have used it in the past, but stopped a few months ago, just to see if I could go on my own. I generally suffer from C and when I first went gluten-free it really helped to regulate me. Well...as regular as we get. I will still drink a glass now and then to help if I get a little backed up. Thankfully, after almost a year of gluten-free, I think my body is settling in and getting used to a rythem. Let's just hope it continues. I definitly think that it is a great help for regularity, as long as it is used consistently. I used the powder btw.
