Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 , According to my discharge instructions: METHYICELLULOSE ( Citrucel, Nonprescription) DOSE: Dose 1 teaspoon PO BID in 2-3 oz. of any type liquid, like Gatorade. Citricel can also be mixed with yogurt and taken that way as well. Notes: Citrucel is a bulk forming dietary fiber, which has the ability to hold water and form bulk. It also acts to coat the lining of the new stomach pouch and to normalize your bowel movements. Citrucel decreases episodes of diarrhea and helps to prevent or treat constipation. Citrucel fiber also increases the weight lost after surgery. NOTE: THE CITRUCEL IS TO BE STARTED AS SOON AS YOU GO HOME AND CONTINUED FOR LIFE. Remember I am two months post-op and the dosage may have been changed since then.
