User Reviews for Metamucil oral

I have used this medication 2 times and each time experience unexpected weight gain.

I have IBS and take metamucil 3x/day. It has helped me TREMENDOUSLY! Not only do I have clean, smooth bowel movements, metamucil has been extremely beneficial for my digestive system. Foods no longer give me stomach aches and I am no longer constipated! Trust me when I say this stuff is truly the miracle I needed to feel good everyday. It taste great! No gritty and grainy drink at all.

Have diverticulosis and after the second incident of diverticulitis I asked the doctor if I could take a fiber supplement. He thought it would be okay. Plus I wanted the extra fiber. Have taken one glass per day for almost one year. Started with Benefiber but switched to Metamucil for possible benefits in reducing Cholesterol. It seems you must take 3 glasses a day for Cholesterol reduction so I'm working up to that and now take 2 glasses. Overall I am satisfied with Metamucil.

Before taking metamucil my bowel movements were extremely loose, several times a day. I had to know where the nearest restroom was at all times. Now they are what others would call normal. I take Metamucil twice a day: at bedtime and between lunch and dinner.

I take this to counteract a diuretic, as directed by my doctor. Does the job, easy to use, and love the taste(orange).Thats probaly why I have no problem taking it!

Easy to take and I hope it is working to lower my cholestral.

Increased the frequency of b.m.'s and it is much easier to go. It seems like my body has been detoxified somewhat because I look a little better now. I think its a safe way insure regularity. Its been said most Americans weigh to much, but I think they look sick too-largely because of chronic constipation. I feel this product is an inexpensive safe remedy.

i want to know if it is going to make me addicted to metamucill.

Not sure if I should 'blame' Metamucil, but after only 3 days my movements were much improved.. solidified, easy to move; however, I began to get tingly sensation in my lower extremeties that increased daily.. stopped 2 days after I ceased to take the Metamucil. Possibly an allergic reaction.. but I don't know. Just thought it important to note my experience. Scary stuff.

I have bile salt colitis from having my gallbladder rmvd 3 years ago. I have been sick every day of my life for past 3 years. Dr thought I had chrones, but as of yet unable to find it. Tried every medication out there to stop the cramps and controll the runs/diahreah. All it took was metamucil buscuits. Who woulda thunk it. I eat 2 fiber biscuits in the morning and im fine all day. I do still move my bowels about 4 times a day, but for the first time they are formed and normal again. It has slowed my system way down. So greatfull to have my life back.Read More Read Less

I HAVE DIVERTICULOSIS AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL. ADDING METAMUCIL TO MY DIET ON A DAILY BASIS HAS BEEN THE BEST THING FOR ME. THE ONLY THING I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IS THAT THE POWDER LUMPS WHEN MIXED WITH WATER. HOW CAN I MIX IT WITHOUT LUMPS?

sometimes I think I don't need it. I use if for lose bowels, but I think it only may make it worse.

vomiting,hives,plugged nose

If I take a teaspoon each day, I may have involuntary discharges which soil my jockey shorts

Let's just say that Metamucil is the right stuff in avoiding constipation. After taking it for a while, I started also watching my diet, less red meat, more vegetables and fluids, less sugar - it really made a big difference. Kindly recommend it - in fact, I am trying to get my parents on it also.

you didn't mention aspartame and what it does to the brain

I have been using it for almost a year now. I was told by my gastrointestinal doctor to take it everyday. It does decrease the amount of pain I have from the IBS that I suffer from, however it tends to give me a lot of gas. Excercise has also helped me while taking metamucil.

I have been taking this for 30 years and it has been a blessing for me. Colon screenings are perfect each time.

I have taken this product for 36 years and found it to be very effective with no adverse side effects. However, the flavored version is not as effective. I take 7 tsp. before going to bed & drink immediately after stirring. It will gel if not.
