For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Just started Metamucil today with a spoonful of the berry flavor in a glass of water. Yuck! I added lime juice and it’s tastes so much better, almost like a mixed drink! Hope this works! I Have had IBS D for 30 years! Bottoms up!"

For Constipation "Metamucil is great but the new formula with Stevia DOES NOT WORK THE SAME. It's not even close. I won't get detailed but it simply does not do its job. I feel more bloated after taking. Do not buy it with Stevia."

For Constipation "I always considered eating certain foods was enough to combat constipation but have found that as I aged, this was not sufficient. I decided to start using Metamucil and found this to be easy to take, tasteless, and the condition has vastly improved."

For Constipation "Worked good at first, then it caused my constipation to get much worse. Stools became very hard and dry. This leads to bleeding, hemorrhoids and colon issues. Constipation and dehydration work together. Drink plenty of good water everyday."

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "Started taking the product for health maintenance and it was also recommended by my internist after a colonoscopy and early signs of diverticulitis. Also, my wife who is an RN nursing supervisor has used the product for years and rightfully claims it reduces bathroom 'paperwork'. I think the product is gently acting and good when used regularly, and over time does what it is supposed to. I like the powdered version and think the taste is good. This product is a starting place to clean up inside out and get the benefits of more energy, better health. I also think some folks would benefit from stronger, more 'kick butt' once a year type colon, liver, and kidney body cleansing from Dr. Schultz or others, for major healing and slowing the aging process."

For Constipation "I was having some serious difficult with occasional constipation since having my daughter a year ago. After doing many tests and determining I didn't have any underlying conditions, my doctor recommended a serving if Metamucil once a day. It's been a live saver! After about 3 days it started working and it's been weeks that I haven't had a single issue. I mix it with a glass of orange juice every morning so the taste doesn't bother me. I also started taking a probiotic with it. The combo has improved my energy and digestive health ten fold."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Been having bowel problems for the past three months. Doctors prescribed me to a lot of different medications, medicines etc however it just made my stomach a whole lot worse. I kid you guys not, Metamucil worked for me instantly. My bloating went right down, my stomach feels a whole lot lighter, I am able to go to the toilet normally, I don't feel so sluggish and tired, I've also got more energy throughout the day. I 100% recommend this to anyone suffering from IBS or bowel problems, its amazing!"

"I have had on going issues with bowel movements for years. I am a 60 yr old male. There is a history of this condition in my family. After taking metamucil it worked amazingly. I am way more regular and for the first time in many years I actually have that empty feeling. I believe I will be using metamucil for many many years to come. I recommended this to my siblings and with the same condition and they also have had positive results."

For Constipation "It helps. Take lots of fluid afterwards! It works better then. Contipated for 30+ years. Now have severe diverticulous. No other health problems. This helps greatly. I also use it with yogurt and a natural juice, ie. Carrot or pomegranate. And take lots of fluid, 8 cups / day. I Eat a healthy diet, lots of fruit, veggies and fiber (oatmeal). Little or no meat. This helps. Good luck!"

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "I had a colonoscopy and Metamucil was recommended. I did not like it at all with orange flavors and sweeteners. It was yukky. I then found the kind with no sweeteners and unflavored. It is much better. I mix it with my orange juice or other juice as half juice and half water. When I went to buy it again it was almost double the price the the kind with added flavors and sweeteners. So I then bought another kind of psyllium fiber without a bunch of added ingredients. Putting sweeteners, sugar, and unwanted flavors are not needed. Why do they charge more for unsweetened and unflavored."

For Constipation "My son has suffered with major constipation for almost a year. He is 2 years old. Every doctor told us to use prunes, apple juice, no dairy... etc. we tried them all. BUT Metamucil has worked its wonders!! He poops everyday and does not have to strain so much. Its doing really good, we give him half of a teaspoon in his water once a day and he doesn't even drink all of it."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Great Marketing!!!! But the cheaper and more original Psyllium Husk seems to work better for my Collagenous Colitis! I don’t know why that is. Maybe because it has no additive and is not in powdered form."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Somewhat helped for a few months, but then my irritable bowel syndrome got worse. Even ER medicines didn't relieve my pain. I have been suffering for 2 years and haven't found a medicine that will help."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Regular use changed my life. I have no stomach pain anymore. I hurt nearly every day before this. Now my life is so much better. I did not have constipation. I suffered pain nearly every morning. Now my stomach empties every morning and I have virtually no pain. The first few days I felt full and bloated after drinking Metamucil. Now I am adjusted to the fiber and feel so much better."

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "It was wonderful at stopping my diarrhea. I ended up having a soft bowel movement in about 12 hours of taking the dose. The bad part was I had horrible abdominal pain and looked like I was 9 months pregnant. I would rather put up with diarrhea then put up with that. Today I am trying citrucel and hopefully won't blow up anymore and no more abdominal cramps."

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "I started using metamucil as a post partum treatment for constipation. I would go a week with no bowel movement. When the movement finally arrived it would tear the hemorrhoid I developed during pregnancy. I started using 1 tsp of metamucil per day. It has been a bit of a roller coaster. It does create bulk and soften stools which has helped the frequency of the movements and reduced the pain from tearing during a bowel movement. However it has also caused some pretty painful abdominal cramps and pain that radiates into the lower back. Unfortunately the pain it causes does not out weigh the benefit so I have stopped using it and switched to bran cereal and plenty more raw vegetables. I have used metamucil daily for the last 8 weeks. Pain with use started around 3 weeks ago."

For Constipation "My first experience mixing it with water was disgusting. I felt bloated, belching, and thought I was going to throw up. On the second day I mixed it with 2 teaspoons of plain yoghurt and ate with a spoon with a 300-mill water chaser. Perfecto! Works well on gut poo management. Good to go."

For Constipation "Metamucil worked for me after 48 hours. It is sugar-free and has an orange flavor. I took a rounded teaspoon for two mornings and I plan to take it every day for my constipation problem. I was lucky has I have had no side effects."

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "I started taking psyllium husk fiber through Metamucil and noticed no adverse digestive effects. I felt more satiated after eating a bit smaller portions which was a benefit for me. My doctor commented on my formerly resistant serum cholesterol number which decreased by 40 points and my A1C which was down about 1 point both of which had been virtually immobile for several years. After consistent use of the capsule form taking 4 to 8 capsules with each meal I feel better overall and have noticed a 10% decrease in weight which may be a result of smaller portions. I must say that I have not been dieting other than possibly less carb craving using this product."

For Constipation "I used the powder twice and had pain in the bowel and an increase in reflux. I then tried the capsules but still got the same results my stomach upset and bowel pain. I will not use this product again"

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "Metamucil for sure causes some stomach cramping and constipation at first. You have to drink a lot of water with it and learn how much you can take. For example I started with 2 tablespoons a day, but learned one time a day was enough for me. Pass stools pretty great now. For sure think there should be more directions on the box then just “take 1-2 scoops”"

For Constipation "I love Metamucil, it works very well. But please find a way to stop the embarrassing passing uncontrollable gas. I work in a quiet setting and it scares me to think I may loose my job over this embarrassing gas that I have no control of. l Love the product but dislike the uncontrollable gas. Thank you"

For Constipation "I take Methadone and I took this Metamucil with it and it made me very sick each time. Horrible headache for 2 days and chills like I was getting a really bad flu virus. I would suggest anyone taking Methadone not take with Metamucil. Thx"

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "All of a sudden I would go 2 or 3 days and then a large bowel movement over and over again. So I tried powdered Metamucil. It worked a little. Then I noticed I had green on my bowel movements. Metamucil is the only change in my diet for the past 2 weeks and I haven't eaten anything green. It could be coincidence and I all of a sudden have another medical issue but I contribute it to the Metamucil and will stop taking it. It also seemed to make me slightly constipated. I mixed a teaspoon into my ensure everyday. Will have to go to a gastro doctor and run some some tests. Green in stool? Really? Only I can have such luck."

For Constipation "After months of constipation, 1 on the Bristol scale, my doc gave me Metamucil, unflavored. I take one tablespoon with water. At first, it tasted terrible like cardboard, and I had gas, bloating. However, within 1 day I had normal BM, 4 on the Bristol scale. And I feel 10 times better, my energy is back, and moods are much better. Over time the gas and bloating are gone, and I've gotten used to the taste; now it tastes like chocolate milk. Definitely the best laxative I've ever used."
