This is my fourth month without constipation, bad gas and being bloated! Since I started taking Metamucil's Psyllium Fiber, my body has slowly and successfully adjusted and things are going great. I've been regular since September and the count is still going. I highly recommend psyllium if you struggle with constipation and/or indigestion. Oh, and I've reduced my stress and worry along with watching my died...x on the junk food and too much sugar. So, I just wanted to celebrate and encourage anyone who struggled with digestive problems that maybe my current cure won't work for you, but if you keep searching and hoping and believing, you will find something that will heal your body.

On the bottle of Metamucil, it says that six pills a day are a serving, but really you take the amount that your body can handle. At first, I was overzealous and took too many too fast and wound up creating some problems for myself. I took six at once a couple of times! Then, I started taking two in the morning, two in the afternoon and two in the evening. This helped my body get used to the fiber and gradually, I started taking less and have stabilized on two or three a day or every other day. Drink lots of water, though!
