I suffered for many years before I stumbled on this additive. I am now getting better; however, it will take a long time before the side effects are all cleared.

I have tried many types of fiber to ease constipation. This has been the best. It does not change the texture nor taste of food.

Apparently, I had an idiosyncratic reaction to this medication to which I had just changed from a more commercial brand clear fiber. I switched to avoid all the additives in the other product. I am a registered nurse and well aware of medications and dosages. Instead of bulking and promoting regularity, in me, this product produced frequent and unremitting diarrhea. I had to go to a diet of clear fluids and build back up to solid foods. I then "tested" myself by taking less than 1/3rd of the serving and my reaction was the same. I am posting this because I have not seen any other reports of adverse reactions and should someone else have this kind of problem, they need to tell their physician and report the issue to the product manufacturer in the interest of public health. There is nothing in the professional literature at this time to correlate with my reaction, but it is better to err on the side of caution and post this experience than to assume the reaction was unique to me. The product I tried was Organic Clear Fiber by Renew Life sold at Whole Foods. I have reported my experience to the manufacturer already. I do not "blame" them, but am concerned that someone else may have a similar reaction.
