Smooth move tea works well , I have found fiber well chews are great and taste good too. I take them every night!  

Answer 29

Miralax really is a miracle. It works with the water in your body and you cannot taste it in your beverage. I wish I had tried it sooner. I take a capful everyday after struggling with constipation for years. Years!

Yes miralax in sugar free cranberry juice. I had to take it 2 years ago between my surgerys

Answer 31

Stir it fast. Drink it fast. No sipping. I think it tastes like Tang.  

Answer 32

I do citricel, it tastes like orange juice, it does thicken some but drink it down dont let it sit, it isn’t to be sipped !  

Answer 33

I take fiber tablets.  

Answer 34

Benefiber is the best! No consistency change and no taste. Just shake it in water until clear. Get the packets for on the go. Once a day or every other day.  

Answer 35

The trick is add 2 teaspoons in 8 oz of water and quickly stir it real good and guzzle it down. I love Metamucil, it works great! I use the sugar free one.  

Answer 36

I use less than the full amount of powder so it was still a drink. And as I drink, I keep repeating: tastes like Tang, until its all down.  

Answer 37

Try a stool softener when needed. Better than drinking that stuff!  

Answer 38

Put it in coffee! Personally, I take a Colace capsule when I need help!

Miralax no taste at all. I put it in my coffee. Dissolves very quickly.
