I take 3 Citricel pills after every meal. Without fail. Per my gastroenterologist. I have had chronic constipation for my entire life and everything worked either TOO WELL (you know what I mean) or not well enough. He told me to take 2 after every meal and it seemed to help but when I upped it to 3 after EVERY meal it works great. Been on that course for over a year now and doing great. If I forget I can tell. Hope this helps.

(And buy them at Walmart or Target or someplace like that. Drug stores are almost twice as expensive for the exact same thing. And I dont scrimp and buy generic or store brand. The real thing works for me.)
