Guess What I Bought Today?
Metamucil  Makes me like I'm old or something. This is one section of the store I never needed to check out before I got pregnant. How lovely.
My constipation is not good, and my efforts to control it with diet are not working. This was what my doctor recommended I use, so I'll give it a try.
Wish me luck!

My husband needs to take this for diverticulitis. It is VERY helpful-it doesn't make anything looser just easier to pass if that makes sense. You have to take it EVERY day though

Re: Guess What I Bought Today?
the drink is easier for me to get down, b/c you can chew it - the fiber pills take forever to chew and are gross - so I think you made the right choice!

Re: Guess What I Bought Today?
I've never tried this before. I did choose the drink rather than the pills. I figured I could modify the amount I use easier if a full-serving turns out to be too mcuh. Good to know the capsules are gross though.
Every doctor is different, aren't they? I'm kind of surprised what they recommend isn't a little more standard. I always get a little concerned when I hear one doctor forbids something mine did not, but oh well. I did a quick search online and couldn't find anything alarming.
So, I'm hoping this helps. I'll keep up with the wate,r prunes and dried apricots though just in case.
I'm beginning to understand why my grandfather was soooo happy after a BM. At the time, I thought this was gross and a little strange, but I totally understand now.

Re: Guess What I Bought Today?
I drink that (I have IBS w/constipation before getting pg) and it absolutely works! It works best if you drink it every day but I don't always keep up with it. It makes you normal so don't worry about pooping an extra amt or anything!! I don't mind the taste much, hopefully you wont either! You can always add OJ to sweeten it up.
