A member asked:

I drank metamuscil about 5-6 days ago. i didnt drink it with enough water only like 2-3oz and ive been having stomach uncomfortably mixed with gas and bloating. i spoke to the pharmacist he told me milk of magnesia should help, is this true?

I cannot attribute this collection of symptoms to the Metamucil. If anything it is likely a coincidence, as it is out of your system in 3-4 days and has a great safety profile. I suspect your issue is due to another process. If it is interfering with your life/work get evaluated.
