Saw that druggist here is now selling the pills as well as regular Metamucil.

Anybody now using pills rather than powder on a regular basis and do they find a difference other that of course that that mixing.

hmm thats really interesting. some one was looking for pills the other day....where did you see them?

And Spicey, if you're reading this, maybe you can look for these in the US (unless they contain sorbitol!!!!!!!!! )

I was just checking out a bottle of those today while I was waiting for a prescription for my daughter at a pharmacy in Oakville.

I used to take Metamucil powder but now I'm taking Acacia - 1 teaspoon before breakfast and 2 before dinner. I like it much better than the Metamucil but I do think it's a personal preference thing. I also take peppermint caps from time to time.

It's easier on my system but I never really gave Metamucil a fair try since I had such a hard time drinking it !

I bought Benefiber that I saw on TV . I used what the DR told me to. One Tablespoon in one 8 oz glass of water . Once a day for now to get me started. And, to take it at night. I woke up with bad pain and felt horrible all day. I was finally getting rid of the D after 3 days of Benefiber it started again. I stopped after 3 days. Any suggestions ? Please ?
