I just bought some of this and think I am going to like adding it to my juice and water, rather than taking those plasticky pills. Anyone have a comment?

" i have tried citrucel. it is the only fiber i can take. it is gluten free, i cannot eat anything with gluten in it or it back me up. citrucel really helps me stay regular, it sometimes works in hours. "

" Benefiber is also Gluten Free (bottle states gluten is "less than 10ppm")

It's what my 7-year old takes twice a day right now because she did not like Citrucel no matter what I mixed it with.
