What is Metamucil (psyllium)? Psyllium is a bulk-forming fiber laxative. Psyllium works by absorbing liquid and swelling in the intestines to create a softer, bulky stool that is easier to pass. Psyllium is used to treat occasional constipation or bowel irregularity. Psyllium may also help lower cholesterol when used together with a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat.
Metamucil can be of major help to people who have diarrhea and/or constipation. Products such as Metamucil are considered to be regulators and help to make the stool more formed and easier to pass. The aim is to have B.M.s which are totally tubular and the diameter of a quarter. Adding fiber (Metamucil type products) can help to bring this about. For some of us Metamucil creates too much gas. Try some of the other fiber products which might be less gas producing and yet have the same effect.
