    Metamucil is gross. Try Benefiber instead. I use PEG 3350 everyday, 2 heaping teaspoons to a 2 liter jug of water; this is by Rx from my Dr. Under a different name PEG is called Restorlax. It's all fiber doesn't matter what it is called.

    Tastes like crap, but works slow. You are better off buying tablet form.

    I prefer the benefiber orange tablets. They taste like candy!

    I do use metamucil though but I have to hide it in my meals. Sadly if you put too much it makes it a gelatin form of layer which is gross. I use it mainly because I don't wanna waste the big container I bought. I would stick with the orange flavored tablets if I could

    I put it in a smoothie and don't have any issues with it. I'm not sure that it was particularly effective though so stopped taking it and haven't noticed any difference.

    I take it frequently; take it with breakfast. I normally have no problems after lunch. 45 calories a tablespoon, though, so sometimes, I get frustrated.
