Other fiber powders, including Metamucil, contain psyllium. Psyllium can ferment in your body to produce excess gas. The fiber in Citrucel, methylcellulose, can't ferment so it will not produce excess gas*.
Methylcellulose is a different type of soluble fiber. It absorbs water and is 100% soluble. It dissolves completely to provide all the benefits of fiber plus a great taste, smooth texture and no grit.
Unlike typical soluble fibers that contain psyllium, methylcellulose is completely resistant to digestion and bacterial fermentation and does not generate excess gas*.
The fiber in most bulk fiber laxative brands is psyllium seed husk. Only about two-thirds of the fiber in psyllium is soluble. Because the soluble fiber in psyllium is partly fermented in the large intestine it can contribute to excess gas. And psyllium-based laxatives can thicken and become gritty when mixed with water.
With Citrucel, the best of science and nature is on your side. | | | Features: | |

 Easier to TakeSep 12, 2009
By Audre Jones

I have been taking Citrucel for quite some time. The caplets are so much easier. I travel every year and find how much easier it is to carry the Citrucel Caplets than the powder. Thanks!

This product is great for maintaining regularity. I like the pills for its convenience. No powerder, nothing bulky, just take 1 or 2 after a meal and you're good to go.
