Does metamucil help gas cramps?

Metamucil : … Can help abdominal cramping in some patients, although it may take a few weeks to begin working. You should know that when you first start it, you might notice a little bit more gas, but that will go away and can be decreased if the Metamucil is started gradually instead of abruptly. It is certainly worth a trial. If it does not help, see your family doctor or a gastroenterologist. Good luck.
