Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 I just looked up the questions I previously sent to Dr. R regarding Citrucel vs. those Metamucil wafers and taking it for life and thought I would share what he said. We are to take the Citrucel FOR LIFE, (it is stated in the new patient manual,) it helps coat the stomach, aid in weight loss, and add fiber (which makes you feel full and loose more weight.) He DOES want us to take Citrucel and NOT the Metamucil wafers, (I specifically asked him that when I found them.) I was having a heck of a bout with thrombotic hemorrhoids in Dec., (something I had never experienced before in my life even with two pregnancies,) and wrote to him regarding the fact they wanted to do surgery on them when he asked me if I was still regularly taking my Citrucel, (which I wasn't and hadn't been since three months post op.) Since doing that I have had no reoccurrence of the problem, (could hardly eat anything the first week or so as I was so full from taking the stuff,) and did not end up having to have surgery. Hope this helps! in Minnesota MGB 7-26-99 Less 115 pounds FOREVER! Less over 70 inches FOREVER! :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
