Citrucel caplets are a fiber supplement built on methylcellulose, a 100% soluble fiber, taken to relieve occasional constipation and add fiber to the diet. The main selling point is that methylcellulose is non-fermentable, so it bulks and softens stool without the excess gas that psyllium-based fibers like Metamucil can cause. It comes as unflavored caplets rather than a powder to mix, which suits people who dislike gritty drinks or take fiber away from home. Relief is not instant: the label says 12 to 72 hours, so it works best started at the first sign of irregularity.
