I started taking Metamucil about a week ago to help with blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, appetite suppression, and secondarily regularity. The first couple days, I had almost no BM. There was no discomfort or gassiness, but I just had very little BM. But, when my BM finally restarted, it came out very clean, with just one wipe needed. Of course, I have no idea yet if it helped my blood sugar or cholesterol levels, but it definitely helped controlling appetite. I have almost no urge to snack between meals. I take it once before lunch and once before dinner, but none before or after breakfast, because it might interfere with absorption of drugs and supplements. I actually enjoy the taste, so it's no problem taking it.
I have been taking two rounded teaspoons of Metamucil in about a 12 oz. shaker of water every morning for 6 months. I highly recommend it. I'm ultra regular now (once a day, same time) & BMs are almost a pleasure... fast, smooth, clean. A roll of toilet paper will last a month. Your colon becomes like a self cleaning oven. The first week or two there was a bit of bloating/pressure but your system adjusts then it's smooth sailing.
It's great to know that it works. I have been very constipated (one bm every 3 weeks) and it's very dry and a torture to pass it. It's like a rock. I will try metamucil.
I've been taking it for 2 weeks, and I do IMF. So far: BMs are regular, quick, and clean. I've lost 20 pounds. My heart doesn't race when I walk upstairs or overexert myself. My appetite is suppressed: I don't even think about snacking at night or eating more than one or two meals a day. I'm also more conscious of the kind of food I eat. Also, I've slept MUCH better. I went from sleeping, maybe 5 hours to 7 hours, and I feel better when I wake up. I have dried the berry and orange flavor. I like both but prefer orange because it reminds me of Tang. I weight train regularly so I try to keep an eye on my bidy composition when I fast and kose weight to ensure I am not losing muscle structure, and in the gym, that I am not losing strength. So far, I have actually gotten stronger (but I think this is because of the diet and better sleep) -- so, not a causation or correlation of the metamucil, at least I think its more the diet and bed rest.
I've been taking teaspoon with 8oz water twice a week for the last two months. I feel lighter and feel good. My weight is down 15 pounds. My belt needed a tighter fitting. I think that's the reason.
Im a 53 year old type 2 diabetic..on the suggestion of a friend i started taking it 2 weeks before my 3 month check up...prior to taking metamucil my A1C was 11...after taking it it went down to 8...of course exercise and cutting back my portions helped as well but the metamucil played a significant role.. im down from 265lbs. to 251 and ive been exercising regularly and taking metamucil for almost 2 months and i feel as light as paper...i would highly recommend it ...but again it works well with a sensible portion controlled meal plan and exercise.
Update: just had my 3 month check up..my A1C is down to 6...i took a stress test which came out very good and my cholesterol is down dramatically...my blood pressure is normal and my doctor took me off of the diuretics and when im down to 200 or my A1C is down to four( which ever comes 1st) i will be off of the metformin...metamucil plus exercise and food moderation is helping ...my coworker recommended it to me off of the suggestion that her doctor gave her so in appreciation i treated her to a lamb gyro and an order of bakalava😋 Metamucil definitely worksfor me!
This stuff is good. it gives me intestinal cramps though as it moves thru my body sometimes, but i love the end results. My legs get all tingly after i take a dooky when using this product. i feel lighter and more energetic. Its great!
How’s your challenge going? I just started 4 days ago for me so far I’ve noticed a lot of differences in a good way come bathroom time. Much easier at bathroom time
Only if you take and DO NOT EXCEED the recommended dose. People think more is better, but it will clog up your intestines which defeats the purpose of taking it in the first place!
I take psyllium daily 2tsp 2Xs/ day. The first 3 months my cholesterol went down 22 points!!!..plus M.helps me be regular. I'm curious to see what my numbers will be on my next Dr's visit.
@@youdontknowme3577 It wasn't over night. I'm a otr truck driver and alot of it was just having a decent bowel movement once in awhile. Eventually I didn't need it anymore. Ever since I started working out and dieting I lost 40 pounds. Just make sure you drink enough water thru out the day and it'll help.
I have major IBS. Going to start taking Metamucil today. Hopefully it will help me regulate bc everywhere i go i have to use it and thats irritating. Thanks
Thank you I suffer from major constipation. And I just started taking it. Am 50 and would like to know how long should you take for. I’ve had a Colonscopy. And it was normal so.
Yep. Everyday. For life. Ditto. Also, take the amount that is right for you. I read some folks are taking a teaspoon. I need 1 to 2 rounded tablespoons, 3 times a day for right now until my gut is cleaned out.
I hear that I don’t know who can drink it with water. They’re strong because I don’t think I could. I’m on day four of the two week challenge. and I’m anticipating continuing after, but I try it with iced tea and that was a bad idea. I have ocean spray, cranberry pineapple juice and I was able to get it down with that or I have a Costco brand Gatorade Powerade that is also doable. For me, I need something strong to get this crap down. I feel it swirling around in my mouth and it just bothers the hell out of me.
Hi. I have few questions if hope i can get an answer. Can I drink this with empty stomach? Can I drink this after I’m taking my vitamins? How many times a day I can drink? Thank you all for the answers
Yes u,can take it on empty stomach,I do it every morning before eating and keep me full and help me eat less , sometimes only one meal.drink lots of water you will drop bodyfats .I'm on second jar start today
I'm not diabetic but I do take this. I take the powder one. I usually take it after meals but I guess everybody takes it differently It says it helps with cholesterol and blood sugar. I hope that's true. So I hope when I go to the doctor for bloodwork my sugar isn't high
I used Metamucil once a day with the recommended dosage for 4 days. First day I felt great, but by the fourth day digestive track was torn up. It made me gassy and bloated. I've done some research and a lot of people have these symptoms. Today is the 5th day, I am no longer taking it, and I still feel bad. I can't use it. I hope this helps someone else.
If you read the container, it’ll tell you it takes up to two weeks for your belly to get used to it. So I would assume your stomach would start getting used to it. Mine definitely hurt last night. I had cramps because I took it after I ate, so I’m going to try to take it before I eat, and hope for a better result.
DOES ANYONE EVER GET SUPER LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AFTER DRINKING THIS STUFF AND THEN SUFFER FROM STRONG VERTIGO ATTACKS FOR DAYS??? Just curious if anyone experiences these symptoms after drinking it.
I have seen a doctor regarding my stomach bloating and he prescribed me Metamucil... I'm taking it one teaspoon daily and now I'm struggling it with constipation
I had to poop so bad and it hurt so I tried taking it and it didn’t work but I know what the problem was I didn’t put the power in the cup of water right so…hehe ahem I DRANK IT AND IT TASTE BA- but it help thank you very much,😢❤❤❤
Did the rectal pain start once you started taking metamucil? If so it mightve pushed some hard stool out after it'd softened and lubricated the poop, the poop mightve been still hard
Maybe I got rid of some of the trapped waste in your body like it says it should. Me I didn’t weigh myself before I started but today I feel like I’m up but there’s also the water weight now if you’re drinking more liquid because you need to while you’re using this. I’ve always been terrible or drinking water and I’m trying to do better at that especially now that I’m using this.
Yes, metamucil has dosage for 6-11 year olds on the package. If your kid isn't getting enough fibre from picky eating, I'd highly encourage metamucil so their digestive system can work efficiently. I had a horrible diet as a kid because I have sensory problems with a lot of foods and metamucil would've been amazing for me, I often had painful experiences on the toilet because I didn't have enough fibre.

Fo u have to wait till its fully gel before consuming it
How many time a day do you take it ?
i feel so much better 😭 My cholesterol and sugar levels were too high for my heart

I heard you get the water weight back when u drink water
@@darkknight-nw5nc ur mom
Metamucil is gross tasting, but it helps so much, but to make sure to drink plenty of hydrating fluids to keep the fiber moving throughout the body
Taste like orange koolaid to me, it’s good
As below, the orange just tastes like an orange drink, I have had one where you it has a husky taste and bits on it but the orange one doesnt
@@mariolewis4226I don’t really mind the taste it does help me tho
You should drink it immediately after mixing it, otherwise it starts tasting slimy. But, if you drink it immediately, it just tastes like Tang.
I have major IBS. Going to start taking Metamucil today. Hopefully it will help me regulate bc everywhere i go i have to use it and thats irritating. Thanks
Delicious 🍊 especially with very cold water
Thank you I suffer from major constipation. And I just started taking it. Am 50 and would like to know how long should you take for. I’ve had a Colonscopy. And it was normal so.
Everyday, Forever
Yep. Everyday. For life. Ditto. Also, take the amount that is right for you. I read some folks are taking a teaspoon.
I need 1 to 2 rounded tablespoons, 3 times a day for right now until my gut is cleaned out.
I am extremely constipated (bowel movement once every 3 weeks) and a mayor pain when I finally go. I will give metamucil a try.
I take it 3x a day before each meal ...
@@edithdlp8045 make sure to drink lots of fluids if you try Metamucil or it can add to constipation.
Her face @4:05 when she said “mm it’s actually very light, it’s yummy” 🤣🤣 this stuff does not taste good. It works though.
Lmao it does work fasho

@@ndaguanno lol I feel you man, they need to work on the flavor & consistency 🤢 other than that everything is on point
If you don’t like the taste they also have capsules.
What foods not compatable .with Meta Probotic pls ?
Do you take it with food or without and if you do take it without food is it bad?
If you take it before a meal you'll feel fuller and won't eat as much during your meal 😄
Hi. I have few questions if hope i can get an answer. Can I drink this with empty stomach? Can I drink this after I’m taking my vitamins? How many times a day I can drink? Thank you all for the answers
I drink it once a day and it works efficiently. You have to drink it at least 2 hours after taking your vitamins or medication as it will absorb them.
Yes u,can take it on empty stomach,I do it every morning before eating and keep me full and help me eat less , sometimes only one meal.drink lots of water you will drop bodyfats .I'm on second jar start today
I'm not diabetic but I do take this. I take the powder one. I usually take it after meals but I guess everybody takes it differently
It says it helps with cholesterol and blood sugar. I hope that's true. So I hope when I go to the doctor for bloodwork my sugar isn't high
Same I was prediabetic 4 years ago and prone to being diabetic and recently I been taking These to decrease my blood sugar level.
I used Metamucil once a day with the recommended dosage for 4 days. First day I felt great, but by the fourth day digestive track was torn up. It made me gassy and bloated. I've done some research and a lot of people have these symptoms. Today is the 5th day, I am no longer taking it, and I still feel bad. I can't use it. I hope this helps someone else.
Alot of people have those symptoms temporarily while your body gets used to the increase in fiber in your body, after that those issues go away.
If you read the container, it’ll tell you it takes up to two weeks for your belly to get used to it. So I would assume your stomach would start getting used to it. Mine definitely hurt last night. I had cramps because I took it after I ate, so I’m going to try to take it before I eat, and hope for a better result.

No
Excellent
I have seen a doctor regarding my stomach bloating and he prescribed me Metamucil... I'm taking it one teaspoon daily and now I'm struggling it with constipation
Hi. You have constipation because you're not drinking enough water. Fibre needs water to move out of your body
I fell off my water routein once while taking this. It was painful to go. So painful. This product must be used properly and it works.
More water!!!
Drink more water! Get an Alkaline brand. 8.5 or higher. 9.5 is best.
Drink lots of water
I love it
But why it becomes so thick
It works like a sponge to clean out your system and hopefully make you feel light and energetic, as it did for me
Shaking to much
Sao tôi pha một lúc sau nước nó thành dạng sệch như là bột cho e bé ăn , ai biết xin giải thích hộ tôi
You have to drink it fast or it will turn to gel.

Before a meal

Thanks fiber fibors

There are others to work with.
Can I drink this if I have diverticulitis
Same question here 😢
Is the lead in this harmful.
Can this be taken if you have a history of atrofib?
Somebody with hemorrhoids can take it

RX
Has anyone been expiercing rectal pain?
Did the rectal pain start once you started taking metamucil? If so it mightve pushed some hard stool out after it'd softened and lubricated the poop, the poop mightve been still hard
This make me losses 4 pound in one week anyone think this is normal
Well the human body holds like 10 pounds of waste, so it removed all of it for you

Kids are in as much need if not more of this natural fiber found in metamucil.
Ask the kid Doctor
