I was diagnosed with IBS (I'm a type C with gas) last week and my doctor told me to take Metamucil powder once a day (caplets were not reccomended due to the lower fiber value). The only way that I can get it down is if I mix it with apple juice, but I read somewhere else on this site that apple juice is a high fructose (and problematic) drink. Does the bad-ness of the juice negate any positive benefit I'm getting from the Metamucil?

Nope, but try and eat some SF before you drink the juice - a piece of bread would probably do!

I drink apple and mango juice now as I find I tolerate it alot better. It's not cheap, but it's very nice.
