If you’re someone who struggles with sticky/fatty poop, Metamucil is a godsend. I had been struggling to get the last bit a poop out (“infinite wiping”) for 4 years due to diet changes and health issues. I saw a clip from H3H3’s podcast about psyllium husk and decided I’d try out Metamucil. It almost immediately solved the problem, no more infinite wiping in the bathroom. I just take 2 teaspoons right before a meal if I’m at home, or 2 teaspoons as soon as I get home if I eat out. One kind of odd “side effect” is that my farts don’t smell at all anymore but my poop is definitely smellier. Which in a way is a benefit if anything. Ethan from H3H3 loves the stuff so much that he said he’d be willing to have Metamucil be a sponsor of the podcast.

I really appreciate that you took the time to create this mini infomercial. I read the directions I wrote the ingredients on the box so I wouldn’t have to get my eyeglasses to keep reading it. Then I started in the kitchen and looked at it every day for close to a week. I just couldn’t get the nerve to make myself a glass. Even after reading the directions I still felt like I didn’t know how to use it. I was very happy to find you taking this meta-Meusel online in front of us and showing us exactly how to do it. I know it seems absolutely ridiculous, that I felt this way. But I just want to say thank you thank you thank you. As soon as you were done with the commercial I went into the kitchen I got cold water and I made myself an 8 ounce glass I drank it all and I feel so grateful that I did. My stomach‘s been giving me a hard time today and I’ve been not doing so well for probably two weeks now. Every time I want to eat more vegetables I just don’t feel like it. Don’t get me wrong I get plenty of fruits and vegetables in my diet but I haven’t been feeling like it lately, hence the meta-Meusel. So again I just really wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart because I just don’t know how to try it. God bless you

I'm finally getting serious about my insulin resistance problem and my waist divided by height ratio of 0.6. I was a bit put off by having to drink the Metamucil so quickly before it gels up. But, your suggestion of making it into a smoothie is a perfect solution. Hopefully, some day I can report back that I've dropped 10 inches off my waist size. Well, maybe 8 inches. I'd be happy with 7 inches, though.

[@RenSayLess]

Have you dropped the inches?

[@STBRetired1]

@@RenSayLess Unfortunately, no. From my research, I've found out about insulin resistance and similar conditions such as anabolic/protein synthesis resistance we develop as we get older (men). The doctors have all told us that we don't need so much protein as we age because we are less active. But, current research is now telling us that we don't convert all the protein we eat into useful muscle. When we were young, we could eat the most garbage of food and extract all the muscle building protein from it. Now, as we age, we have to eat twice as much protein in order to extract a useful amount. One of the problems of eating less is that we don't get all the essential amino acids in our diet so our bodies can't make all the enzymes we need for full health. An amino acid like Leucine is the trigger that starts protein synthesis so if we don't get enough and at the right time then we don't fully convert our food and our muscles waste away. Two new enzymes I just discovered to help in that protein synthesis and cleaning out our arteries are Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. As we age, we produce more and more fibrin which forms blood clots and reduces our circulation. Less blood circulation means a less efficient body more tired body. They think it also might be related to the brain plaque that leads to Alzheimer's disease. I've just started the Nattokinase and am waiting for the Serrapeptase. Natto is a Japanese breadfast food like tofu except it is fermented. That fermentation produces the kinase enzyme. The Serrapeptase is taken from silk worms. Check it out online - it's interesting reading. So, once I "normalize" my body and get better circulation and a better enzyme balance then I'll look into ways to reduce my waistline. Eating less always took away my energy so I didn't work out as much. Now that I'm eating more, I've got more energy for working out. I'm heavier but my waist hasn't increased. So, I'm assuming that my muscles are growing in response to my workouts. Do a Google on Essential Amino Acids. It's fascinating at all the functions they do. And remember that they are "essential" because our bodies can't convert proteins into those particular amino acids so we have to get them from the food we eat - if we eat enough and eat the right foods. Here's one link that's informative - www.healthline.com/nutrition/essential-amino-acids#how-many-are-there

My story, I hit 51 years old and noticed I felt sluggish, my bowl movements would be inconsistent in type, hard sometimes, soft sometimes, albeit pretty regular. I had (And now can say "had") one external haemorrhoid that caused me issues when a movement was hard. Stumbled upon this stuff on Amazon one day and thought I would give it a go.

I'm now on the recommended amount (In a little more water) It has changed my life! I've lost a little weight without trying, I'm regular and consistent and no longer have the little painful friend attached to my exit! I do feel lighter and just generally better as a whole!

[@pepsicola4718]

@@terwya I would not use Metamucil as a means of producing a bowel movement. But as a preventive measure against constipation. However what works for me when I take it is 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of powder stirred into a 8 Oz glass of water. Remember to drink it quickly before the powder begins to thicken into a gel. If you are struggling currently to have a movement I would suggest these. -Ducolex stool softener pills -Ducolex laxative gummys (magnesia) -Miralax powder If constipation lasts longer than a week consider using a fleet enema or fleet suppository. Also consider talking to a physician about a Colonic to flush your bowels. In my personal experience one of the best ways to cure constipation is to simply drink a ton of water, go for a walk, take a shower, and find a time when you are alone and relaxed with plenty of time in the bathroom. Of course always talk to a doctor about what's right for you.

That's way too soon for the fibre to do anything... It's not a laxative, it's just dietary fibre. Your body has probably made some kind of placebo connection, where you become extra aware of if you need to go at that time or not... Or maybe if you often take it at the same time, that's just when you were going to go to the bathroom anyway, if you paid attention to if you need to go or not.

Its because it has fiber and you have to drink water after

[@erishao8685]

priscilla8 you are right. In the beginning I was not used to this and probably didn’t drink enough water so I didn’t p.. much, after like one week I’m used to this and drink water, I can p.. more than usual. the sugar free one tastes really good, and I like drinking this, it’s like orange juice. I think this is the most natural drink for digest. I recommended this to all my friends who have p.. issues

I get very very bad huge poops that leave me holding in my stool for days (up to 5 days sometimes) wanting to literally die . I’m going thru it now and I know I’m going to have to force it out by tonight but after that’s done I want to prevent this from happening it’s ruining my life I’m so depressed and always have anxiety. I want to make sure that this will help me go regularly so I’m not backed up and have to deal w this any more . I heard some negotiable reviews about it making you more constipated and I really can’t afford to risk that but I also really can’t deal with another episode like this (it’s been happening for about two years now) pls give me some tips on what I should do daily to stop this from happening and if Metamucil is the right way to go .

I have Metamucil 160 capsules 3 in 1 and it says 5 capsules for serving size. How many do I have to take it and what does it mean per day? Just want to try it out, once I'm done with my other fiber and prebiotic sugar free gummies. I'm new with Metamucil capsules is all.

[@aaronsalmon1376]

Is it better to take the powder on an empty stomach in the morning, or after food, or at night?

[@daratum4300]

May you tell me , when is best time for drink it ?

[@marybigler4609]
