A member asked:
When should you start taking metamucil after an acute attack of diverticulitis that required hospitalization and antibiotics. ?

Timing: You can start taking metamucil after all the acute inflammation has resolved. You will know when this happens because you will be pain-free while off antibiotics and pain medication.
