I have an extremely rare disease that effects every cell in my body - think head to toe and everything in between. Not only because of the disease but also as a side effect of the various medications I take, I deal with chronic constipation. When attacking chronic constipation you really have to take a multi-pronged approach. Not only use fiber, but stool softeners, polyetholyene glycol (not sure if I spelled that right but the brand name is Miralax), in addition to exercise, drinking water, and PRAYER! Despite having Diabetes I wanted to just get original orange flavored MetaMucil but I couldn't find one on Amazon unless I bought a case of it. So, I reluctantly bought the Sugar-Free MetaMucil because the Citracel I had on hand tasted terribly. I was so pleasantly surprised that this doesn't have a "diet" taste. No one WANTS to drink fiber but if you're going to do it, you want it to be at least tolerable. This Sugar-Free version is actually tasty. The key is to drink it slowly but quickly enough so it doesn't turn into a gel. If it does gel up, just add more water and stir and it's good to go (so you can go). Hope this review helps
