Colo-rectal surgeon says - stop that right away, it's not meant for long term - take
Metamucil
. Years ago I took
Metamucil
and ended up almost with a blockage. My problem is motility. Nothing moves.

rectal bleeding
I don’t have the greatest diet, purchased some
Metamucil
today hoping increasing my fiber may help? i have no pain, no fever, no other symptoms which is why this is stumping me! Any insight would be helpful as I am highly anxious. Thanks for your time!

Fiber
I have taken three doses of
Metamucil
daily for many years. This should alleviate any constipation and adds healthy fiber.

I need some reassurance - I am so scared now.
I cannot get
Metamucil
in the uk because of the cost - it is the equivalent of 80 dollars if I buy on line. All of our doctors are on strike again for 5 days then that will be followed by a consultants strike for 2 days so we in the uk have no medical cover at all.

Metamucil and Fiber Supplements
Hello, I have been taking
Metamucil
for a while now but have been having gas issues all day long and daily, ever since. Does anyone has the same issue with
Metamucil
? I would like to try another fiber supplement, does anyone has any recommendations?

Worried About Colon Cancer
They told me the exact same thing, to give me a different medicine which is
metamucil
now in order to try and fight against my constipation. They told me not to worry and it probably isn't anything crazy going on, but I still really feel like this is something that is very serious.

Hemorrhoids
Was started on
Metamucil
, maybe 30 years ago. Stop after awhile couldn’t stand it. Saw a GI doc, recently, who started me on an increased amount a few months ago. No one seems to understand the pain I am in from the hemorrhoids.

add flax?
I hear that husk, , which is in
Metamucil
and also flax are very good at cleansing. And good for anti-inflammatory. I buy the whole flaxseed and then grind them an old fashion coffee grinder.. if they are not ground, they do not digest well

Update: Symptoms have subsided after all tests done. Could have been stress?
i have been taking
Metamucil
at night, just one teaspoon before bed. i find that it helps my digestion significantly. other than that i am not taking anything else... i dont drink sugary drinks, and try to stay away from processed foods. eating a cleaner diet definitely helps and going for walks as well

Doctor states i am perfectly fine....however
he told me to take
metamucil
for three weeks and follow up with him to see how i feel, at that point ill have a CT scan done. I have stopped the Omeprozele, the bentyl, stopped all the suplements ive seen and read about on the internet.... at this point i have no idea what to do.

Symptoms suddenly taking a turn for the worse
I take no other medications, but do take magnesium, Gingko and Brahmi (for improved cognition), cod liver oil,
Metamucil
(Psyllium husk) and Vitamin C. I am due to see a sleep specialist with an interest in RLS in about 3 weeks. I suspect he will steer me towards trying Pregabalin again.

Gut and brain connection
In the past I have treated my problem with bentyl(drug to relax intestines) and
metamucil
. Neither seems to help anymore. I currently get a brain fog and pressure in my brain. It is difficult to function mentally and I feel terrible. I also have issues with high BP.

Anal leakage - Does anyone have this problem and how are you handling it
Boost fiber with
Metamucil
and drink lots of fluids. Does anyone have this problem and how are you handling it? Also have CKD Stage 3b.

My Story and I'm thinking someone can relate?
I had to stop using my
Metamucil
as it only made things worse. And, to make matters worse, nobody told me you had to eat a full meal with it! I had been taking multac like I took flecainide- empty stomach in the morning and meal at night.

IBS-C
I was doing pretty good with
Metamucil
every night but lately is not working. I started taking few times a week Miralax but the last few days I go to the bathroom to pee and when I clean myself I have poop on the paper, its horrible. I had a colonoscopy and everything as good.

If I don’t stick with a regiment of daily
Metamucil
and flax I get constipated but usually resolves within a few days. However this time I just had the worst flareup. Got so constipated for almost 3 weeks..seems
Metamucil
and flax made it worse early on as I didn’t consume enough water.

Avoiding constipation
If by 2:00 pm she does not have a bowel movement, then MD recommended to have mom take
Metamucil
as well. This laxative regime has been effective for the past 3 weeks and has not failed her yet.

Just finished my SBRT treatment at MSKCC
I'm taking
Metamucil
every morning and evening, and have had no other GI issues. In terms of sexual function, between the brachytherapy and the SBRT, I am definitely noticing that my erections are not as hard as they were a few months ago, but I can still easily maintain an erection.
