Question Metamucio or Citrucel

Which is better to take to keep myself regular. Metamucil or Citrucel. I purchased Citrucel because it said causes no excess gas but it gave me a lot of gas. Which one should I use?

They both give you gas but Metalmucil more because of the sugar I am told. What you need to do is lower the dosage and increase it slowly, giving your body 3 weeks to get used to the increased fibre (the body develops the bacteria to deal with it, etc). Also, drink plenty of water (because you will have a problem if you don't). It helped me a lot.

They both give you gas but Metamucil is supposed to give you more because of the sugar. It takes about 3 weeks to get used to the increased fiber. Start with low dosages and be patient.
