A member asked:

Does to much metamucil cause mushy poop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. You may take enough to relieve constipation. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. 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!
