This has helped me immensely.
I've been using this fine product for 20 plus years on a mostly daily basis. Beginning as relief from symptoms caused by hemorrhoids. This gave almost immediate relief and ended those symptoms since. 'Banding' during outpatient surgery by my second visit to the doctors office convinced me that it was far better to add this to my diet on a daily basis those some 20 years ago. You can also pretty much forget about straining during bowel movements with the daily use of this product. And I have found that it also has helped me during those few times that I may have had diarrhea. Because, in both cases, either straining difficulty or loose and watery, Metamucil will regulate and form the stool. And passing becomes easier. Making me 'regular' by the daily use of this product adding fiber to my diet has made me feel healthier as well.
I usually take this after dinner mixed with a large glass of water around 7pm in the evening. Then I'll drink another glass of water. Always cold (I love water). And at least two to three hours before going to bed. It has to be mixed well with the water. There was a time when I hurriedly mixed and left clumps or residue at the bottom of the glass. After a month of rinsing the glass out in the sink, the drain would become clogged and I would have the problem of unclogging my sink.
