A member asked:
I have trouble consuming enough fiber? metamucil you have to consume 2-3 times a day (5 pills) to equal out the amount your suppose to take. is there a fiber supplement with high fiber where you don't need to take as much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be easier to the powder form of Metamucil than the pills. Generally taking a tablespoonful of Metamucil in a glass of water, in the evening would be a good routine. 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
