A member asked:
Started metamucil 1 week ago. very bloated and have lots of gas. will that subside with use or do you always have to toot with that?

It will improve.: it is common for someone to have excessive gas and bloating after starting Metamucil. It usually improves with continued usage. One helpful hint it is to start with just a small amount per day and gradually increase it. It is also important to increase your amount of fluid intake if you are taking Metamucil. Good luck.
