Metamucil to hell and back

[cheryl2586 3,053]

If anyone tries the Metamucil bars to add more Fiber to your diet I will tell you right now. If you don't eat them in small bites and drink a lot of Water behind them you will be in Metamucil hell and back. I seriously had them stuck for at least 30 minutes. Here I am trying to be good and have a diet rich in fiber oh hell I don't care about getting fiber in now. I think the rest will sit in my cabinet for 30 years before I try that feat again. Oh and don't try to eat shredded wheat either because then you will be in wheat hell for sure. I love so much sliming on things that make you feel like a razor blade is coming back up in your throat. Hope you all got a good vision and a laugh. Yeah sometimes even after four years I screw up big time. Lesson learned. Hell no to the fiber.

Oh yah! I do not like metamucil! It gets chunky, I have Benefiber, which is easily disolved in Water, or whatever. I don't use fiber anymore, I now, only use magnesium citrate capsules of rhelp with BM. Best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

Karen - I just picked up some Benefiber yesterday. The jar says two teaspoons three times a day. Do you take it as prescribed, or does it work well on less than three times per day?

I pretty much used it like it said. I don't use it anymore, as now I get better results from my magnesium citrate. But, if you need to add fiber to you rdiet, I would just use 2 teaspoons 1x a day. 3x is a little much! Karen..aka.kll724

Thanks, Karen. I need whatever is going to work best in the bathroom! Do you have better results with magnesium? I have a bottle in the cabinet, but the tablets are huge (from pre-band).

I use capsules, which can be opened and powered into your mouth if you are afraid they might get stuck. I no longer have toliet problems since using the magnesium. In fact, if you use a little too much, will help clean you out!! Karen..aka.kll724
