Best Supplement for Constipation: Metamucil, Daily Psyllium Husk Powder Supplement, Sugar-Free Powder, 4-in-1 Fiber for Digestive Health, Orange Flavored Drink, 180 teaspoons

The Gold Standard On My Regularity Regimen

I have an extremely rare disease that effects every cell in my body - think head to toe and everything in between. Not only because of the disease but also as a side effect of the various medications I take, I deal with chronic Constipation. When attacking chronic Constipation you really have to take a multi-pronged approach. Not only use fiber, but stool softeners, polyetholyene glycol (not sure if I spelled that right but the brand name is Miralax), in addition to exercise, drinking water, and PRAYER! Despite having diabetes I wanted to just get original orange flavored MetaMucil but I couldn't find one on Amazon unless I bought a case of it. So, I reluctantly bought the Sugar-Free MetaMucil because the Citracel I had on hand tasted terribly. I was so pleasantly surprised that this doesn't have a "diet" taste. No one WANTS to drink fiber but if you're going to do it, you want it to be at least tolerable. This Sugar-Free version is actually tasty. The key is to drink it slowly but quickly enough so it doesn't turn into a gel. If it does gel up, just add more water and stir and it's good to go (so you can go). Hope this review helps

Great source of fiber

I take Metamucil because the western diet tends to be somewhat deficient in fiber. I've been taking this product for years and it does an amazing job with your digestive system. You just need to make sure to mix it up into your water good or else there will be lumps of fiber at the bottom of your cup. Once you begin taking it you'll be going to the bathroom regularly and your stools will be nice and whole. I don't really have Constipation issues but for those of you who do this product will certainly help in that regard. My only issue with this product is its a little pricey

Good but in moderation.

Great fiber product for Constipation or staying regular but make sure you mix it with plenty of water and dont use this as an everyday thing. Psyllium husk can potentially bulk up and cause blockages leading to possible serious damage, and has been known to interact with certain medications, and certain conditions. So overall this is a good product, but just do your research before using, it may not be for everybody

God's gift to Constipation!

9-4-20 UPDATE: Due to the shortage, and playing with the availability dates, I am forced to buy much cheaper store brand again, and it's working well! Actually, just as good. The current stuff is no longer clumpy or sandy. 12-2-19 update: best stuff, ever, but forgot not to order near Christmas, as they wait til near delivery deadline hour to tell you it's delayed! No more December orders. I found out the hard way last year, but, forgot. Best stuff, ever! Tried the store brand, but was clumpy, thick, and very hard to mix. Also had a friend (age 60) and gave HER a container, and I got a thumbs up. However, when I first tried it, I only took it twice daily, and had zero results. My doctor told me to go with 3 times daily, and that was last February, 2017. Wish I had been using this product long before turning 76. You should be aware that there may be an odorous side-effect, that for me, usually presents itself during church, so when those around you look in your direction, just discretely, point, with your thumb, to sweet old Sister Thompson sitting near you! REMEMBER: Don't take meds within 2 hours of taking this, because it may absorb them, according to some articals I have read

Flawless Victory

I'm on a lot of medications and lately I've been having more and more Constipation. I knew that I had to do something when I started reaching for the handicap bars in the stall. Rocking back and forth while pushing and straining was part of my normal routine. Being in the bathroom for 30 minutes trying to have a movement wasn't fun. My lower back began to ache while my feet were getting numb. I was miserable and dreaded the next bowel movement. Frequently clogging toilets, I began to take stool softeners daily. I knew this wasn't the best long term solution. For me, Metamucil has provided the relief that I've needed. At the time of this review, I've been having regular smooth bowel movements and I've only been taking two spoonfuls a day. I'm truly grateful for this product and the daily relief that it provides. I now look forward to having a movement knowing that the “struggle” is over. Thank God! Stay safe and be well everyone

Keeps Hubby out of the ER

I'm going to give this a 5-star review because my husband loves this stuff. He thinks that it tastes good and is easy to drink (i disagree on both points but I buy this for him). You see. He has diverticulitis. We've had 2 major incidents that landed him in the hospital in the last couple years. The second one caused him to have a bowel resection. He has to be very proactive to um... keep things moving along. This helps him to avoid another hospital stay. He drinks a big glass of this Metamucil product every day. It seems to be working- he also snacks on Fiber One bars. He's had no flareups and very thankfully no hospitalizations in the last year and a half. This product is not for the immediate relief of Constipation. It works well to promote regularity when used daily. I try to cook good, real, whole foods, but this extra fiber really seems to help. As for my experiences with the product. I find that it tastes like Tang- and not in a good way. You have to drink it fast, or it congeals into a thick goo. It's hard to swallow in that state. It works for him, I'll stick to ice water. We get this on our subscribe and save order. He goes through about one of jars these a month. It's pretty pricey, but much cheaper than an ER visit and astronomically cheaper than emergency surgery

Tastes sort of nasty

My medications are causing Constipation. I do not like the taste. It reminds me of a slight orange taste mixed with wood shavings and sweetened with an artificial sweetener. Will see how well this works
