JK: I tried taking Metamucil originally but it turns out that my intestines were having an allergic reaction to the psyllium, which is wheat-based (aka natural fiber). I later became wheat-free in my diet, in general. Anyway, I switched to Citrucil and it made a big difference.I noticed that Citrucil is less lumpy. Metamucil tastes more like Tang. Also, I prefer the Citrucil with artificial sweetner (the blue cap) to the one with sugar (orange cap). They also have Citrucil tablets that are easy to break and easy to swallow, though make sure you're taking the right amount. I believe that four Citrucil tablets are equal to one full scoop of Citrucil. The dosage on the tablets says "take two" but if you do the math, one scoop = four tablets.There are also other varieties that have wafers available.Regards, Lilymaid
