Metamusil psyllium fiber caps
Not sure how much fiber you're eating a day, but I also eat the metamucil fiber wafers. I don't drink a ton of water with then though. I eat them with 8oz of hot tea. I tried the pills and they dont seem to work for me, not sure why.
Also, another good thing is "Benefiber". Its tasteless, odorless, and non thickening. You can add it to anything... yogurt, tea, coffee, prepared food and it wont change anything.
I have been told that a half a measuring cup of "Fiber One" with milk or plain with hot tea is good and healthy. I dont drink milk at all, so I cant comment on the milk part.
I was always told that soluble fiber is good for gastric bypass people...
I don't have problems going to the bathroom. The wafers are part of my daily routine along with miralax and du-colace. I just happened to come across the pills and wondered if they worked as well as the wafers. I'd rather pop a pill than eat those wafers with a liquid since we are not supposed to eat and drink at the same time.
I read somewhere that powders are better for you than the pills/wafers.
I like benifiber for my fiber supliment - I add a couple of spoonfulls to my morning drink. I also take 1/2 to 1 does of mirilax in the mornings to keep things regular because fiber alone doesn't cut it with the meds I'm on. I mix both in about 20 oz of water with a mix in or with a protein shake - they do not affect the taste / texture and I just drink them as I would anything else.
