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

For Dietary Fiber Supplementation "All of a sudden, I would go 2 or 3 days and then have a large bowel movement over and over again. So, I tried powdered Metamucil. It worked a little. Then, I noticed I had green in 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 every day. I will have to go to a gastro doctor and run 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."

"All my life I have had gas, indigestion, constipation, then diarrhea. Also, the pain in my stomach would be unbearable. I took all over-the-counter and doctor medication, had stomach scans, everything the doctor would suggest, but with no regular relief. My new doctor recommended Metamucil, I've never felt better. I have at least two BMs a day. All constant big, fluffy stools. No gas, no bloating, no nausea, it's all regular, and I feel wonderful. Wish I had tried this years ago. I feel great. I stir it in cold water and quickly drink it so it doesn't get thick, the taste is great, and it's sugar-free. Thank you, Metamucil."
