Is it better to take soluble fiber drinks, or are pills okay too?

I know the pills contain less fiber and you must take more of them to equal the amount of fiber, but are they just as effective?

I take Citrucel pills 3 times a day... (2 before breakfast, 3 before lunch, & 3 before dinner) I just increased the dinner dose a few weeks ago and after my body adjusts I will start taking 3 before breakfast as well per my Dr suggetion. I have not had any problems with them...and they don't cause ME to have gas like some of the other brands. Just start slow and increase gradually.

All soluble fiber supplements work the same way in the body, so yes, as long as you understand that you'll have to work up to taking quite a lot of them (and you sound like you do), they'll work out just fine.
