It's longish!       #185513 - 06/10/05 12:26 PM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois How much metamucil do you take? also, I thought you were suppose to take probiotics before meals on an empty tummy? Anyhow, whatever works for you. Does the probiotic say to take it on a full stomach? I looked for this brand in some health food stores, and at Wild Oats and Whole Foods but couldn't find it. Maybe it's only in Canadian or on-line? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

It just honestly says "take 1 to 3 capsules a day"...and it's coated so it only dissolves in the intestine. Is that maybe why the discrepancy? It's kept in the fridge as well. As for the Metamucil, I take about 5 tbsp a day. What I do is shake in a bunch of it into muy smoothie-never really count it, just know it'd be the size of about a chocolate chip(mmm) cookie-homemade size. So like 1.5 to 2 ounces. I'm by far the ultimate authority on this, Augie....but this is what I'm doing and it's working for me. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...

In your morning smoothie? Is it regular orange flavor or gross plain? I don't think sugar free orange is safe, but you probably already know that. Also, what store did you find your probiotic at? I can't find it in the States either.

I'm GUESSING it's that much...       #185690 - 06/11/05 10:55 AM Edit Reply Quote _Willow Reged: 04/06/05 Posts: 2090 Loc: Canada. it is the full sugar, orange flavor. I had had sugar free, but quit that last round. I think I'll be going to no flavor next time though, I HATE that fake Orange McDonald's juice flavor!! And Swiss Natural Sources, is a Canadian company out of Vancouver.(I just read the label) but they have a Website and if you surf the WEB you can find it everywhere. Heh, leave it to us Canadians to have the best drugs...and UN drugs!!! Swiss Natural Sources Best of luck, ladies....it'd be great if this product got us all moving! Gotta go, I have a BM coming! YAAY!!!! -------------------- Keep on keepin' on... Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
