A member asked:
Can to much metamucil cause diarrhea? and if so how long after i stop taking it will the diarrhea stop!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would take more than a couple of tablespoonfuls of Metamucil to cause diarrhea. If Metamucil overuse is the cause of diarrhea it should stop within a day or two of stopping the intake of Metamucil.
