Metamucil Challenge?

HappyKat5

I'm probably late on this but I just saw an ad about doing Metamucil for 14 days. I am not suppose to eat fiber due to Digestive issues (but I have been because I miss fruits and vegetables in their natural state.) Even cooking them down has been creating a problem for me. I grew up on those foods so its hard for me to part with them. I was going to start this challenge tomorrow to see if I feel less bloated. I am a little worried that I will be feel full and won't get in my calories, but I want to try it at least for a couple of days. I didn't know if anyone else wanted to join...so putting it out there in case someone does. Here I come Metamucil. I hope it doesn't taste like crap

You shouldn't have fiber so you are going to chug fiber?

@concordancia I feel like it would be easier to drink and digest then having the actual the fiber from raw fruit/veggies. It’s more like an experiment.

My digestive tract runs slow but usually deals with liquids better.

Digest? I thought Psyllium was dietary fiber (i.e. indigestible).

Please talk to your medical team before doing this.

@kpsyche You are right, this type of fiber shouldn’t absorb in the body but push through food and collect stuff as it goes through the digestive tract.
I can’t tolerate most fiber in a raw state, but I just feel that I could do it in a liquid form. Like I said before... it’s just an experiment.

Thank you for the concern. I really mean that, I really do. However, I’m at the end of my treatment and nothing else can be done. I’ve exhausted all my options at this time. Maybe something will come up tomorrow.

My hubby tried it a few years ago and it didn't do anything really.
