I start taking it for 3 days and it actually clean my intestines, I am usually constipated and hungry all the time. It make me go 2 to 3 times a day and helps me with my appetite. It is awesome!
Appreciate Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Franaar Spectacular Look Formula (do a search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for eradicating your constipation minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my GF after many years got great results with it.
OMG! this stuff changed my life!!! I have diverticulitis, I had chronic stomach pains, and very irregular bowel movements. Since I started taking Metamucil I haven't had an episode of stomach problems or aches and I have normal bowel movements! Incredible product! Thank you for your video!!
I have terrible IBS-D (Irritable Bowl syndrome-Diarrhea) this stuff has really stop my diarrhea and made it completely normal. I know TMI but lol if you have IBS-C or Ibs-D you know the feeling when you’ve found a semi cure
That is my issue although not as bad as it was when I was younger. I am going to try this. Seems like the powder would work better than the capsules. Which did you use?
I haven't been diagnosed but I've been having diarrhea for about 7 months now, i really hope this helps me, because sometimes i can't even make it to the bathroom 😭, thanks for sharing ^^
I didn't realize how much fiber I wasn't getting until my Doctor recommended I start taking this. It started with a fiber thin a day and now I do a drink in the morning fiber thin in the afternoon and another drink before dinner. Best thing I ever found!! Love it!!
I used to have problems with high cholesterol until I got my diet under control. Metamucil really helps with lowering LDL counts -- I *always* take it, especially after a cheat meal.
I started using it three months ago, it cleans up the waste in my colon. Also, I exercise every day , and I do hard abdominal exercises. Omg, my belly looks away better than three month ago. Sometimes I use the bathroom twice or three time aday but it doesn't upset nor make my stomach upset, this product really changed my body to the better shape, specifically my Billy and around obliques. Another thing, my skin looks away better and smoother, especially on my face and neck. I highly recommend this to anyone, who cares about his or her body and healthy lifestyle . Thank you for bringing this product!!!
I'm heavily pregnant and couldn't go. Had this and I finally went and feel less sick and bloated. I was so uncomfortable. What a great product and it doesn't taste bad.
Pro tip: when using the powder version to drink it, use a frother mixing wand to mix your drink. It will blend your Metamucil with the water so well, it will taste like an Orange Julius. It’s a game changer! The frother mixing wand costs $12 and can be found anywhere.
@@tonyedward6909 LOL I’m Dominican and live in New Jersey. We are all around. I know NY has a lot of people, so I get why you’re saying it, but I just wanted to make myself noticed as someone who is outside of NY, although I’ll definitely go to NY.
I started using the powder sugar free mix. Use a portable hand held blender 16 0z capacity. Put in 3 teaspoons of powder with a little bit of ice and rest water up to 16 Oz water line. Mixes it very well and tastes great! I’m starting off doing one serving per day.
If you’re someone who struggles with sticky/fatty poop, Metamucil is a godsend. I had been struggling to get the last bit a poop out (“infinite wiping”) for 4 years due to diet changes and health issues. I saw a clip from H3H3’s podcast about psyllium husk and decided I’d try out Metamucil. It almost immediately solved the problem, no more infinite wiping in the bathroom. I just take 2 teaspoons right before a meal if I’m at home, or 2 teaspoons as soon as I get home if I eat out. One kind of odd “side effect” is that my farts don’t smell at all anymore but my poop is definitely smellier. Which in a way is a benefit if anything. Ethan from H3H3 loves the stuff so much that he said he’d be willing to have Metamucil be a sponsor of the podcast.
@@lauralittle6899 after rereading my comment I realized I’ve changed how I use it. I take 2-3 teaspoons 2-3 hours after dinner. Taking it throughout the day really isn’t necessary unless you’re tying to get like lower cholesterol benefits etc. Basically by taking it after dinner it acts as a broom pushing all the day’s food through and basically guaranteed a clean wipe the next day.
I really appreciate that you took the time to create this mini infomercial. I read the directions I wrote the ingredients on the box so I wouldn’t have to get my eyeglasses to keep reading it. Then I started in the kitchen and looked at it every day for close to a week. I just couldn’t get the nerve to make myself a glass. Even after reading the directions I still felt like I didn’t know how to use it. I was very happy to find you taking this meta-Meusel online in front of us and showing us exactly how to do it. I know it seems absolutely ridiculous, that I felt this way. But I just want to say thank you thank you thank you. As soon as you were done with the commercial I went into the kitchen I got cold water and I made myself an 8 ounce glass I drank it all and I feel so grateful that I did. My stomach‘s been giving me a hard time today and I’ve been not doing so well for probably two weeks now. Every time I want to eat more vegetables I just don’t feel like it. Don’t get me wrong I get plenty of fruits and vegetables in my diet but I haven’t been feeling like it lately, hence the meta-Meusel. So again I just really wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart because I just don’t know how to try it. God bless you
I love when she barely takes a sip and say delicious. Reminds of when Kramer was doing that commercial tryout for some green concoction and gags a little.
As a weight lifter, I combine 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder and a serving of meta in my blender bottle. It kind of tastes like a chocolate covered orange.
I am constipated and this really saved my life...now I am regular and actually enjoy the bathroom now..I used to stress when it was time to go but now I can go stress free. Finally I found a solution that is easy on the body however I don't care what anyone says I just try to down the drink as quickly as I can and follow it with a glass of water..its not bad to drink, its like TANG...just dont let it sit...
I've had horrible IBS-D for about 4 years. I drink it about 20 minutes before eating. It has helped more than anything else I've tried! I mainly drink it in the morning. I'm on stomach medicine and that works great too, but makes me sleepy. So I take those in the afternoon/evening.
My story, I hit 51 years old and noticed I felt sluggish, my bowl movements would be inconsistent in type, hard sometimes, soft sometimes, albeit pretty regular. I had (And now can say "had") one external haemorrhoid that caused me issues when a movement was hard. Stumbled upon this stuff on Amazon one day and thought I would give it a go. Sooo pleased I did! first few days felt a little bloated but this passed quite quickly, I reduced the amount of powder for a week or so and increased the volume of water. I'm now on the recommended amount (In a little more water) It has changed my life! I've lost a little weight without trying, I'm regular and consistent and no longer have the little painful friend attached to my exit! I do feel lighter and just generally better as a whole! All I would say is, if you think you may benefit from this, give it a go, stick with it and one day you will just remember that you feel better! I live in the UK so suppliers are limited! You could improve on access to this stuff in the UK? Supermarket and Pharmacy chains possibly? Thanks Metamucil!
It's just what I was looking for before trying it. Great informative video!! I have been constipated, not doing my daily chore. My doctor recommended it. Thank you
Can I ask how long did it take you before you had a BM? Did you start slowly on it or take it the full 3 times a day. This is only my second day of taking it only once a day and I haven't gone yet. Any help would really be appreciated.
@@terwya I would not use Metamucil as a means of producing a bowel movement. But as a preventive measure against constipation. However what works for me when I take it is 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of powder stirred into a 8 Oz glass of water. Remember to drink it quickly before the powder begins to thicken into a gel. If you are struggling currently to have a movement I would suggest these. -Ducolex stool softener pills -Ducolex laxative gummys (magnesia) -Miralax powder If constipation lasts longer than a week consider using a fleet enema or fleet suppository. Also consider talking to a physician about a Colonic to flush your bowels. In my personal experience one of the best ways to cure constipation is to simply drink a ton of water, go for a walk, take a shower, and find a time when you are alone and relaxed with plenty of time in the bathroom. Of course always talk to a doctor about what's right for you.
@@pepsicola4718 absolutely agree but I believe the first comment and myself would like to know do you remember how long it took the metamucil to work without laxatives
If everyone was taking Metamucil, there'd be no war. We'd all be too busy talking about how awesome our bowel movements have been and we'd all feel to well to argue.
My smoothie recipe for constipation: Warning: You'll be making lots if trips to the john. But it'll be worth it. 1. 2 table spoons of metamucil 2. 1 cup of water 3. 1 sliced cucumber 4. 2 Celery stalks 5. 1 cup of prune juice 6. 3-5 pineapple chunks 7. 1 tsp of honey ( for taste) 8. 4-5 cubes if ice. Blend. Drink and enjoy
I'm finally getting serious about my insulin resistance problem and my waist divided by height ratio of 0.6. I was a bit put off by having to drink the Metamucil so quickly before it gels up. But, your suggestion of making it into a smoothie is a perfect solution. Hopefully, some day I can report back that I've dropped 10 inches off my waist size. Well, maybe 8 inches. I'd be happy with 7 inches, though.
@@RenSayLess Unfortunately, no. From my research, I've found out about insulin resistance and similar conditions such as anabolic/protein synthesis resistance we develop as we get older (men). The doctors have all told us that we don't need so much protein as we age because we are less active. But, current research is now telling us that we don't convert all the protein we eat into useful muscle. When we were young, we could eat the most garbage of food and extract all the muscle building protein from it. Now, as we age, we have to eat twice as much protein in order to extract a useful amount. One of the problems of eating less is that we don't get all the essential amino acids in our diet so our bodies can't make all the enzymes we need for full health. An amino acid like Leucine is the trigger that starts protein synthesis so if we don't get enough and at the right time then we don't fully convert our food and our muscles waste away. Two new enzymes I just discovered to help in that protein synthesis and cleaning out our arteries are Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. As we age, we produce more and more fibrin which forms blood clots and reduces our circulation. Less blood circulation means a less efficient body more tired body. They think it also might be related to the brain plaque that leads to Alzheimer's disease. I've just started the Nattokinase and am waiting for the Serrapeptase. Natto is a Japanese breadfast food like tofu except it is fermented. That fermentation produces the kinase enzyme. The Serrapeptase is taken from silk worms. Check it out online - it's interesting reading. So, once I "normalize" my body and get better circulation and a better enzyme balance then I'll look into ways to reduce my waistline. Eating less always took away my energy so I didn't work out as much. Now that I'm eating more, I've got more energy for working out. I'm heavier but my waist hasn't increased. So, I'm assuming that my muscles are growing in response to my workouts. Do a Google on Essential Amino Acids. It's fascinating at all the functions they do. And remember that they are "essential" because our bodies can't convert proteins into those particular amino acids so we have to get them from the food we eat - if we eat enough and eat the right foods. Here's one link that's informative - www.healthline.com/nutrition/essential-amino-acids#how-many-are-there
I’ve been taking this for about a week now and I’ve noticed significant improvements in bowel movements and acid reflux. This will be part of my regular diet from here on..
Thank you for the informative and well presented video on the Benefits of Metamucil. As one grows older your digestive system and how food moves through the body slows down. We also do not get as much exercise as past Generations did with far less technology, glad Metamucil is available to help .
I like it but dont use it regularly. Inalways realized I have been taking it wrong & started taking it before meals. I was going away so I bought the individual packs and love it. Hope its helpful ❤🙏
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
Lovelyred 69 I’ve done the 14 day challenge, mostly 3 times per day and it cleaned me out. I was constipated all the time and went 1 every 3 days, now I go 3 times per day. It helps with a lot of health issues too. Try it, but I warn you. The powder takes 12 to 72 hours to work and then every subsequent is 12 hours. It’s incredible!! I went 3 times today.
I suffer from IBS from Stomach flu in 2017 There was days I'm fine & there's days I need to go really bad even in public that was never an issue before. I was told to stop taking dairy products so i did I got better for a while. last year I bought coconut milk & it made it worse my stomach still reacting to the coconut milk even though hadn't touch it in about 6 months. I went to the pharmacy the pharmacist recommended Metamucil this was last week
I take it everyday twice a day and I put two teaspoons of it in a 3/4 of a bottle of wate r use a funnel and shake it up and drink it up I used to have a acid reflux really bad so since I've been taking metamucil I have very few episodes very rare in fact it has really helped my digestive system out
Love the Explanation and demonstration! Today begins my journey of The Metamucil Life, I love the taste, now watching the video I see that I used to much (2 Tbs/16 oz water) so I had some clumps, but moving forward I’ll follow the instructions of the video. Lol
I'm doing exactly what you did lol my directions actually says table spoon so im using 2 table spoons and 16oz water. Hope this works for me 🤞🏼also get a shaker cup thats what I use to avoid the clumps.
I drank more water after take this and it really help me p.. a lot! Sorry about the previous misleading comment. This really helped and I have been taking this for one year. No side effect at all! Most natural way to help you p..
Hi Eris. We're sorry to hear this. When you have a minute, please call us toll free at (800) 983-4237, Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm ET so we can ask a few questions and learn more about your experience with Metamucil.
priscilla8 you are right. In the beginning I was not used to this and probably didn’t drink enough water so I didn’t p.. much, after like one week I’m used to this and drink water, I can p.. more than usual. the sugar free one tastes really good, and I like drinking this, it’s like orange juice. I think this is the most natural drink for digest. I recommended this to all my friends who have p.. issues
But what about the gummy’s? I understand you can take up to three at a time for one serving. My question is: do the gummy‘s have the same ingredients as the sugar-free powder? I want to make sure I get the same benefit! I hope you answer my question. I am taking the gummy‘s every day. I love them🌻
That's way too soon for the fibre to do anything... It's not a laxative, it's just dietary fibre. Your body has probably made some kind of placebo connection, where you become extra aware of if you need to go at that time or not... Or maybe if you often take it at the same time, that's just when you were going to go to the bathroom anyway, if you paid attention to if you need to go or not.
Hi, I just want to say this is psyllium husk ground up... it gels up and so you should be careful not to take too much, I've never taken a rounded teaspoon (and I buy the organic stuff) of 1/4 and I drink a ton of water with it, but just as a test if you've ever let it sit in water it becomes really gel like... Second there's an article out on the internet where a woman sniffed it in and got bronchiolitis so be careful there -- also you can be allergic to it... I started in very small increments and finally from my research it has the potential to deplete meds, B2, Iron and Fat Absorption... so be careful... plus you should research other fiber options too, balance it out...
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.
i have a big problem when going to the bathroom, and let me tell you im so HAPPY. Ive been drinking it every night and when i wake up in the morning i go poop right away. Best feeling ever. i also like the flavor😋

I'm a diabetic and thus stuff is like a silver bullet for lowering my glucose when it's too high today I drank 4 8OZ glasses and my glucose went from 203 to 135
I have horrible constipation with craping and bloating and just started taking (per urgent care doctor)Metamucil. She wanted me to start once a day for a week, then twice a day, for a week then 3 times a day if I can tolerate it, everyday. Has anyone else had great results doing it this way? DESPERATE
I recently had colon cancer surgery and am having uncontrollable Diarrhea, the surgeon who performed the surgery and a different doctor in emergency both told me to start taking metamucil.. they said it will help absorb the excess fluid so I'm going to give it a try....anyone else use it for Diarrhea?
Yes. It helps for diarrhea also. I take it everyday and have been much more regular. My GI doc said don’t worry it works to balance you out so it’s good for both constipation and diarrhea.

In my personal experience one of the best ways to cure constipation is to simply drink a ton of water, go for a walk, take a shower, and find a time when you are alone and relaxed with plenty of time in the bathroom. Of course always talk to a doctor about what's right for you.
So how long did it take before you had a BM?
@@micahmcclough8918 On the laxatives I described. Usually within 12 hours to 2 days
The metamucil promotes regularity of movements.
@@pepsicola4718 absolutely agree but I believe the first comment and myself would like to know do you remember how long it took the metamucil to work without laxatives
If everyone was taking Metamucil, there'd be no war. We'd all be too busy talking about how awesome our bowel movements have been and we'd all feel to well to argue.
Hahahahaha. I love this comment!!!!
Timmy, you are probably onto something here!! I totally agree with you. Thanks for a good giggle too. 😃
😂😂😂
your right!
😂😂😂
Do you need to drink it before meals? After meals?
My smoothie recipe for constipation:
Warning:
You'll be making lots if trips to the john. But it'll be worth it.
1. 2 table spoons of metamucil
2. 1 cup of water
3. 1 sliced cucumber
4. 2 Celery stalks
5. 1 cup of prune juice
6. 3-5 pineapple chunks
7. 1 tsp of honey ( for taste)
8. 4-5 cubes if ice.
Blend. Drink and enjoy
Matthew Smith What are the benefits from this smoothie?
I haven’t heard anyone refer to the bathroom as the John in years. Thanks for that throw back haha
@@lil_sixxo pooping...
@@lil_sixxo You’ll shit your guts out.
@@lil_sixxo not only do you get the fiber, but you can also other nutrients from the vegetable smoothie, so it’s a win-win
I'm finally getting serious about my insulin resistance problem and my waist divided by height ratio of 0.6. I was a bit put off by having to drink the Metamucil so quickly before it gels up. But, your suggestion of making it into a smoothie is a perfect solution. Hopefully, some day I can report back that I've dropped 10 inches off my waist size. Well, maybe 8 inches. I'd be happy with 7 inches, though.
Have you dropped the inches?
@@RenSayLess Unfortunately, no. From my research, I've found out about insulin resistance and similar conditions such as anabolic/protein synthesis resistance we develop as we get older (men). The doctors have all told us that we don't need so much protein as we age because we are less active. But, current research is now telling us that we don't convert all the protein we eat into useful muscle. When we were young, we could eat the most garbage of food and extract all the muscle building protein from it. Now, as we age, we have to eat twice as much protein in order to extract a useful amount. One of the problems of eating less is that we don't get all the essential amino acids in our diet so our bodies can't make all the enzymes we need for full health. An amino acid like Leucine is the trigger that starts protein synthesis so if we don't get enough and at the right time then we don't fully convert our food and our muscles waste away. Two new enzymes I just discovered to help in that protein synthesis and cleaning out our arteries are Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. As we age, we produce more and more fibrin which forms blood clots and reduces our circulation. Less blood circulation means a less efficient body more tired body. They think it also might be related to the brain plaque that leads to Alzheimer's disease. I've just started the Nattokinase and am waiting for the Serrapeptase. Natto is a Japanese breadfast food like tofu except it is fermented. That fermentation produces the kinase enzyme. The Serrapeptase is taken from silk worms. Check it out online - it's interesting reading. So, once I "normalize" my body and get better circulation and a better enzyme balance then I'll look into ways to reduce my waistline. Eating less always took away my energy so I didn't work out as much. Now that I'm eating more, I've got more energy for working out. I'm heavier but my waist hasn't increased. So, I'm assuming that my muscles are growing in response to my workouts. Do a Google on Essential Amino Acids. It's fascinating at all the functions they do. And remember that they are "essential" because our bodies can't convert proteins into those particular amino acids so we have to get them from the food we eat - if we eat enough and eat the right foods. Here's one link that's informative -

I’ve been taking this for about a week now and I’ve noticed significant improvements in bowel movements and acid reflux. This will be part of my regular diet from here on..
How much do you drink a day?
@@kimberlyoakland7506 2-3 glasses starting out. 2 teaspoons with cold water is my preference.
@@EricFortuneJr. do you drink it before or after food?
@@kimberlyoakland7506 Usually right before but it doesn’t matter.
@@EricFortuneJr. thank you kind stranger
No idea why I watched this whole video but you just got another customer!!!
This stuff is awesome I use it all the time cause it helps me use the bathroom due to my slow metabolism
Thanks for clearing up the misconception. Buying some tomorrow
Thank you for the informative and well presented video on the Benefits of Metamucil. As one grows older your digestive system and how food moves through the body slows down. We also do not get as much exercise as past Generations did with far less technology, glad Metamucil is available to help .
I like it but dont use it regularly. Inalways realized I have been taking it wrong & started taking it before meals. I was going away so I bought the individual packs and love it. Hope its helpful ❤🙏
I have a difficult time being regular without it. Love it!
Love this stuff. Its important to note that this stuff may make vitamin/medications absorption a little difficult so its best to drink it by itself
I use it when I eat low fiber meals to compensate and have good digestion. Works good.
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
which is the best time of the day for the drink?
I feel like I have constipation myself so I haven't really tried looking for solutions until now. I would love to try this and see how it works for me
Great informative straight to the point video! Thanks
Thank u for video description as today mark my first day of Metamucil journey
Girl! I went to restroom the next day and it was so massive but i felt AMAZING!!!! 🤣🤣 i love METAMUCIL!!!
Very helpful for constipation problems I would suggest taking this with a probiotic like kombucha
Thank you, just purchased some due to taking iron vitamin. Very informative
I started mixing in an orange flavored Emergen-C with it and it's been working well
She says, 'tastes delicious' at the 1:39 mark, as she winces and drinks its. Beautiful.
I love this stuff, it helps maintain my diabetes ❤
Just started on Metamucil. Day 3 for me. I’m using the power type which kinda taste like Tang. I might try the capsules next time
Oh, you have to open it first? Ty
Will be getting this product as I have been curious about it for sometime and thank you for this video as it helped out my decision.
Lovelyred 69 I’ve done the 14 day challenge, mostly 3 times per day and it cleaned me out. I was constipated all the time and went 1 every 3 days, now I go 3 times per day. It helps with a lot of health issues too. Try it, but I warn you. The powder takes 12 to 72 hours to work and then every subsequent is 12 hours. It’s incredible!! I went 3 times today.
I suffer from IBS from Stomach flu in 2017 There was days I'm fine & there's days I need to go really bad even in public that was never an issue before.
I was told to stop taking dairy products so i did I got better for a while. last year I bought coconut milk & it made it worse my stomach still reacting to the coconut milk even though hadn't touch it in about 6 months. I went to the pharmacy the pharmacist recommended Metamucil this was last week
Any update? Did it help
@@jasminemartinez4097 no, I have bad kidney's it's reason why I go a lot now
I can't believe life has brought me to this video, but here I am 😅 Thank you! Great video!
Is it better to take the powder on an empty stomach in the morning, or after food, or at night?
I take it everyday twice a day and I put two teaspoons of it in a 3/4 of a bottle of wate r use a funnel and shake it up and drink it up I used to have a acid reflux really bad so since I've been taking metamucil I have very few episodes very rare in fact it has really helped my digestive system out
Love the Explanation and demonstration! Today begins my journey of The Metamucil Life, I love the taste, now watching the video I see that I used to much (2 Tbs/16 oz water) so I had some clumps, but moving forward I’ll follow the instructions of the video. Lol
I'm doing exactly what you did lol my directions actually says table spoon so im using 2 table spoons and 16oz water. Hope this works for me 🤞🏼also get a shaker cup thats what I use to avoid the clumps.
I know! that is correct.
I'm confused. Do I use 2 tablespoons and 16 ounces??
Is there a best time of day to take it?
I drank more water after take this and it really help me p.. a lot! Sorry about the previous misleading comment. This really helped and I have been taking this for one year. No side effect at all! Most natural way to help you p..
Hi Eris. We're sorry to hear this. When you have a minute, please call us toll free at (800) 983-4237, Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm ET so we can ask a few questions and learn more about your experience with Metamucil.
Its because it has fiber and you have to drink water after
priscilla8 you are right. In the beginning I was not used to this and probably didn’t drink enough water so I didn’t p.. much, after like one week I’m used to this and drink water, I can p.. more than usual. the sugar free one tastes really good, and I like drinking this, it’s like orange juice. I think this is the most natural drink for digest. I recommended this to all my friends who have p.. issues
Can this product be taken persons having 2 to 3 times bowel problem?
But what about the gummy’s? I understand you can take up to three at a time for one serving. My question is: do the gummy‘s have the same ingredients as the sugar-free powder? I want to make sure I get the same benefit! I hope you answer my question. I am taking the gummy‘s every day. I love them🌻
How long should you wait to eat after taking Metamucil?
It works and I always run to the bathroom right after I drink it 😖 but dats why I like it 😁
That's way too soon for the fibre to do anything... It's not a laxative, it's just dietary fibre.
Your body has probably made some kind of placebo connection, where you become extra aware of if you need to go at that time or not... Or maybe if you often take it at the same time, that's just when you were going to go to the bathroom anyway, if you paid attention to if you need to go or not.
Sometimes I get lumps. Any suggestions to eliminate them?
Hi, I just want to say this is psyllium husk ground up... it gels up and so you should be careful not to take too much, I've never taken a rounded teaspoon (and I buy the organic stuff) of 1/4 and I drink a ton of water with it, but just as a test if you've ever let it sit in water it becomes really gel like... Second there's an article out on the internet where a woman sniffed it in and got bronchiolitis so be careful there -- also you can be allergic to it... I started in very small increments and finally from my research it has the potential to deplete meds, B2, Iron and Fat Absorption... so be careful... plus you should research other fiber options too, balance it out...
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.
I bought this this week, making it for work each day :)
I bought the packet ones
So you have to take it once a day or how
Thank you for sharing and careing
Am drinking it right now hope it works for me
Does it work?

@Kawaii_Christichan lmfao
Do you half to eat something first before taking it I know it says wait two hours after when you gotta take medication
What is the proper time to take it ?
Meta mucil is awesome I have had a great experience with it
It's Amazing but i had to stop taking it as i was getting severe heartburn but besides that i would take again

Do you have to drink water when you eat the fabric things and the gummies
It recommends 7 tablets, 1-3 times daily. Does that mean 21 tablets /day?
Thanks for the upload ❤
so what is the difference between all the various brands? like premium and 4 in 1. My doc recommended i purchase some but did not specify which one.
This is EXACTLY the video I wanted on my watch history. 😅
I love the cinnamon spice fiber thins. Yum!
This is a must for the bottom diet
I have the powder and the capsules. The serving size for the capsules is 3, do I take 3 at once or 1 3 times a day,thankyou! 😊
I got lemon lime out here in Australia, LOOOOVE IT!!!
I'm a diabetic and thus stuff is like a silver bullet for lowering my glucose when it's too high today I drank 4 8OZ glasses and my glucose went from 203 to 135
get a shaker cup and you will never have clumps
I have horrible constipation with craping and bloating and just started taking (per urgent care doctor)Metamucil. She wanted me to start once a day for a week, then twice a day, for a week then 3 times a day if I can tolerate it, everyday. Has anyone else had great results doing it this way? DESPERATE
Does it help cholesterol? I been dealing with so many problems ❤
What about the gummies. Do they work just as well?
I recently had colon cancer surgery and am having uncontrollable Diarrhea, the surgeon who performed the surgery and a different doctor in emergency both told me to start taking metamucil.. they said it will help absorb the excess fluid so I'm going to give it a try....anyone else use it for Diarrhea?
Yes. It helps for diarrhea also. I take it everyday and have been much more regular. My GI doc said don’t worry it works to balance you out so it’s good for both constipation and diarrhea.
