How much Citrucrl do you take daily? In past a full dose of Miralax is more than I can handle. Have cut it to alternate days and reduced dosage of Miralax at my Drs suggestion —still not resolving issues. For about 13 days I was functioning without any of above then constipation returned! Strange!

I was taking two doses of Citrucel daily but cut it back to once daily because it was upsetting my stomach if I took it without food. Once a day works just as well for me as twice a day. Sometimes I use psyllium powder instead. I take a little less than a full dose of Miralax a day.

Citricel is acidic. My colorectal doctor likes the MiraLax and ducoset because they are easier on the body.
