For years, I have tried to get into a good habit of using Metamucil Liquid but always found it a messy hassle to mix every day and serve cold. Fortunately, these fiber thins are convenient and pleasant tasting enough to consume on-the-go with the beverage of my choice. They are a quick snack that I can easily incorporate into my lifestyle. So far, the results have been very good. Just having one of these packs a day (2 thins) has led to smoother, larger, and more complete bowel movements each morning. I am hoping, longer term, that these improved bowel movements will lead to other benefits like a reduced risk of Diverticulitis and bleeding hemorrhoids. Also, if I continue to get good results with just one pack of thins a day, this product will turn out to be affordable and not very fattening (only 100 calories per pack). I would encourage you to give it a try. Especially if you have never been able to sustain a habit of using Metamucil Liquid
