Honey_bun       08/15/05 09:40 AM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 Hi Honey_bun, Just to let you know, the Metamucil capsules don't contain very much soluble fiber at all - I stopped taking them because I had to take SO MANY a day. 1 capsule contains 1/2 g of SF. So you're taking only 3 a day - you're only get 1.5g - and Heather recommends you work up to 12-15g a day (though if you are a C you may need even more). Just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware - if you're feeling sick to your stomach from them you may need to try another SFS because 1.5g a day is not really enough at all (unless you're planning on working up quite a bit). It's a lot easier to get the required amt of SF from the powders in my opinion, because you don't have to take a million pills (you'd have to take 24 pills a day to get 12g of SF from Metamucil) - but if you don't mind that, the pills work too!
