For some people, the naturally occurring fiber found in foods like fruits and vegetables is enough to keep them regular. |
Others need a little fiber therapy to help keep things moving! Bulk-forming laxatives like FiberCon work in a safe and gentle way to make bowel movements easier and more regular. |
FiberCon is insoluble fiber, so it doesn't ferment causing the uncomfortable gas and bloating side effects of some fiber supplements. |
Product Description
Since 1987, people have chosen FiberCon as the simple, safe, and comfortable fiber therapy option to help relieve constipation.

FiberCon is 100% insoluble fiber that provides constipation relief by simply drawing water into the stool. FiberCon is safe and effective for adults and children 12 years or older and generally produces a bowel movement in 12-72 hours, and since the insoluble fiber in FiberCon does not ferment it will not cause uncomfortable intestinal gas or bloating. Trust FiberCon as your convenient and comfortable option to relieve occasional constipation and feel like yourself again!

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Yesterday marked the first day in a year when I did not have excruciating pain throughout the day or find blood in my toilet. And yesterday was only the second day I took FiberCon.
When the hemorrhoids initially happened, I thought it was only temporary. “I pooped too hard, and accidentally popped some veins,” I said to myself. But then the bleeding persisted. Things got worse during COVID shutdown. Since I got to spend more time at home and every time when I felt the urge to go, I go. Some days I would go as much as six times a day. I know that’s a lot. But I thought that the increased frequency was caused by my new plant-based diet and that it was supposed to be healthy.
I switched to a vegan diet in the summer of 2019. What I did not know was that the new diet actually caused me Irritable bowel syndrome. I tried all kinds of home remedies I could find: setting daily schedule for the the time I use bathroom and reducing the time spent sitting on the toilet (which helps greatly), kegel exercises(which help a lot, but one should not overdo them. Otherwise they would impose too much pressure on the inner sphincter.), alcohol-free, ph-balanced wet wipes (they help, too!), psyllium husk powder (helps to a degree), coconut oil (does not work; Aveeno works so much better, providing the skin proper moisture and improved elasticity.), PreperationH cream (irritates my skin so much I discontinued after just one use), ... to name a few.
I seriously believed that I could combat this hemorrhoid thing all by myself. But after a year my husband finally lost his patience with me---I complained to him pretty much everyday--- and made me go see my family doctor. It was my doctor who recommended FiberCon to me and, oh praise God, it works.
What FiberCon does is that it calms my bowels so I do not go too frequently. Even though I have reduced my frequency to three times a day, FiberCon reduced it further to once to twice a day. Also FiberCon firms up my stool so I no longer have diarrhea-looking poop and thus less trauma incurred during bowel movements.
In conclusion, I recommend taking FiberCon if you constantly have loose, mushy excrement that causes you problems, such as hemorrhoids and anal fissure. It’s mild and I haven’t had any negative reaction. (Again, know on wood!) Like I mentioned earlier, I will post an update, possibly in a month or so and hopefully by then I am completely recovered. Cheers!

With this, I’m back to being almost regular.
My only objection is price, way too much.
