Part of my ED recovery was ending daily laxative abuse (12-14 a day). How can I rebuild my health from the effects of said abuse? I still need to use various fiber supplements, and Metamucil regularly in order to have regular BMs, are these as bad?

I have trouble consuming enough fiber? Metamucil you have to consume 2-3 times a day (5 pills) to equal out the amount your suppose to take. Is there a fiber supplement with high fiber where you don't need to take as much?

Can you take metamucil fiber pills every day longterm? Is there a fiber supplement to take long term? I definitely do not eat enough fiber. Looking back on my fitness pal I only get 8g to 16g of fiber a day max?
