A member asked:
My 57 year old mother is wondering if it is ok for her to take meta mucil multi fiber powder everyday since she is constipated and also if she is not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metamucil: I would recommend Metamucil daily. It gives you enough fiber a day to help with constipation. I also recommend prune juice for breakfast as this can very much help with constipation naturally.
