Psyllium "Metamucil has been a total game changer for me! Can’t recommend it highly enough. One tablespoon per day has made all the difference in the world! PS: drink lots of water with it too."

Psyllium "Turned back the clock 30 years. Makes bowel movements much easier. I only take one teaspoon per day. I am 64, and it definitely replenishes your system from what you naturally lose over the years."

"Very effective, just remember to drink plenty of water when you are using it. A drug caused constipation for me, so I decided to buy a psyllium supplement. It works really well and no side effects."

Psyllium "Miramax drinks 3x daily didn't work until I started taking it with Crystal Light (or generic brand). Works beautifully each time. Then, learned many doctors prescribe using it for colonoscopy preps!"
