Dear Dede,

About 3 months ago I had to have rectal surgery(it still makes me

cringe). As part of my recovery the colon rectal surgeon instructed me to take

Citrucel or Konsyl or Fibercon.

I could not tolerate drinking the stuff and I didn't think to mix it in yogurt.

Anyway his nurse told me about Fibercon Caplets. I was able to take them with no

problem. The directions say to take with at least 8 ounces of water or other

fluid. That may present a problem with the limited stomach capacity. I just

looked at one and they are scored in the middle so maybe you could take half

with

less liquid. This may not help at all but I thought I would let you know. Good

Luck!!!

Best Wishes,

Genz
