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?

I could but you would not like it. FitnessPal(FP) is good. I am not sure what the daily minimum for fiber is, if there is one. You can use cereal, rice brown and fruits as a way to increase. I would also see if FP has a list of high fiber foods that you like. You and enter foods advertised as high fiber and see what you like to use to increase fiber. I would not use supplements but natural.

You can. You may add fiber foods to your diet and drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
