Metamucil makes me constipated, is there a better alternative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If metamucil is : Making you constipated the problem is most likely that you are not drinking enough fluids/ water. With adequate water intake the stool should become softer/ more moist. With poor hydration - it is likely to cause constipation.
