Metamucil is psyllium, and that's likely to cause bloating and gas for a lot of people. And the orange flavor usually has citric acid, which can trigger reflux in susceptible people. Metamucil is a really good soluble fiber - if you can tolerate it. A lot of people can (I have no problem with it at all) but too many others just can't take it. So as a matter of course I suggest people try some of the other varieties first.
