Unifiber does not interfere or interact with any other medications. | More Effective, Fewer Side Effects
Constipation can be caused by a number of factors, including inadequate dietary fiber, lack of physical activity, and natural body changes due to pregnancy and aging. Unifiber Powered Cellulose has been clinically proven as effective in maintaining bowel regularity while reducing dependence on stimulants, stool softeners and laxatives. Totally insoluble, Unifiber doesn't cause gas and bloating, which are side effects of other fiber supplements. Healthy Fiber Perfect For Restricted Diets
This unique, all-natural plant fiber made from pure virgin plant cellulose, like the fiber of grains, fruits and vegetables. Sodium-free, potassium-free, phosphorus-free and gluten-free, it's an excellent option for those on a restricted diet (such as renal patients). With less than one net carbohydrate per serving, Unifiber also contains less than four calories and no artificial sweeteners, aspartame or phenylalanine. Versatile And Easy To Take
This tasteless, ultra-fine powder and can be mixed with most liquids (fruit juices, water, milk) and soft foods (cereals, applesauce, mashed potatoes, pudding) without changing the flavor. Unifiber doesn't interfere with the absorption of medications and vitamins, and with a non-gelling formula requiring no extra fluids to prevent choking, it can be taken without liquids. Unifiber may even be used in recipes and given via an NG tube. It can be purchased over the counter, without a prescription.

 NOT Grit-Free September 30, 2008

I would like to know how this company can say their product is Grit-Free when it is obviously not! I tried mixing it with water to start with and I nearly choked to death from the grit. I then tried to mix it in applesauce and it became very think and was still gritty. So now I had to eat thick, gritty applesauce. Ewwwwwwwwww! The good news is that it doesn't have much of a taste. I found that if I only mix one scoop (never two) in half a glass of water, stir it really well and then drink it fast with another glass of water to get the grit down right after then it's okay. This sounds like a lot of work for only 3 grams of fiber and it is a lot of work. You're better off doing more research for a fiber that give you more.
If you are looking for a fiber than has both soluble and insoluble fiber (8 greams) and are not on a restricted diet then try Colonix from DrNatura.com It's all natural as well. The soluble fiber makes me bloated so I can't use it but it is well received by their other customers.
Good luck!
Very unpleasant texture August 18, 2008
UniFiber All Natural Fiber Supplement, 16-Ounce Tub
Might be effective (I'll wait and see). It IS natural, safe, and without aspertame. However, it is NOT non-gelling, and it has the most unpleasant texture of all fiber powders I have used for years.
I found a way to make it drinkable: mix it with 100
% grape juice and a dash of sugar. Then, it it does not choke you, but it still requires stirring for each sip.
 Great fiber supplement November 30, 2007

UniFiber is a lifesaver! I finally found a product that treats constipation and is safe enough to take every day. It does not cause the gas and bloating that I have experienced with other fiber supplements. I also like the fact that I can take it at the same time as my other medications without any interference. I am thrilled to see that Amazon is now carrying UniFiber as I have had a hard time finding it.
