Horrible, buy apple instead

published

Made the biggest mistake wasting money on metamucil, tastes like crap, can hardly swallow with no advantage what so ever, made my constipation worse than it was. Why not spending money on apple or other natural fibers and get instant result.

Artificial sweetened! Horrible taste!

published

I bought the wild berry flavour, it was horribly sweet. Almost impossible to drink! I wish there would be less sweetener. I haven't tried the orange flavour, so I can't tell if it is better.

Shocking taste

published

I like the smooth version for my bowel motions, works great! Tried the wild berry instead of the orange, I know it's artificially sweetened, the wild berry makes me want to throw the empty glass across the room into a brick wall it's so bad. I paid 17bucks for this, can I just throw it and accept my problem has one solution? Hell yes.

Sweet. It's terrible!

published

I brought the mixed berry flavour. It's full of artificial sweeteners. I asked the counter person if it was sweet and they said 'oh no, definitely not' now I'm stuck with it I can't return it because I opened it. There is nowhere on the container that tells me this . False advertising!!

The only good Metamucil made was Fibersure which you could add to any food or drink as it was tasteless
The new line of Metamucil is oversweet and horrible and you cannot use it in ant other products as the sweetness is overpowering.
It is a ploy to get you addicted to sugar

Drink loads of water.

Tastes really good but you'll be pushing concrete through your intestines if you don't drink enough water with this stuff.

Could be better

published

i started taking this so could increase protein shake intake (dont have added fibre in them) i got the orange one. it tastes yuck and doesnt seem to dissolve properly in water. i even tried to drink it with orange cordial to disguise the taste too. im not sure what the plain one is like but i wont be getting this one again..

Medically proven to be of no benefit except for constipation

published

My doctor in Sydney said this is a joke. It is not a medically recognized anti-toxin or good for weight control. It is only good for the constipated. Nothing else. Has no other benefit whatsoever. I used it. It did not benefit me in anyway. It was a non event. Maybe if I was constipated like most of the people here,I would have had a happy ending.
Nice flavour
Mono use-constipation relief. Over-rated.

This is a good addition to the diet if you are lacking fibre. It is very easy to take and you just have to remember to take it regularly to get the benefits. You can get this in powder form or capsules which are easy to take.
When I need to have a boost of fibre, Metamucil is one of the products that I will often reach for. I like the fact that it is very easy to take and comes in a variety of nice tasting flavours. It is never a hassle to take.
A bit more expensive than some products but it is worth it.

I take one good teaspoon of metamucil after dinner at night in about 250mls of water. It fills me up so I don't look for after dinner snacks and I get a compulsory glass of water added to my water intake everyday. I used to have an irritable bowel and now don't have any problems. I find the orange the best flavour, lemon and lime is a little sweeter, and original is grainy but there isn't much taste. Buy the large container on sale and you can't go wrong.
Easy to digest rather than another capsule.
The flavoured varieties are very sweet in taste if you use a lot at once.

When using this product you need quite a bit of water for the fibre to work properly. it is a good snack choice as it fills you up quickly. if you buy the large container of it it is much cheaper and tastier than buying pure psyllium husk, which is quite grainy and unpleasant to drink.
Easy to digest, great for if you need fibre and tastes okay.
The orange flavour in the Metamucil tastes quite good if you have a small portion, but if you have too much it tastes too sweet, and overpowering. it contains aspartame *an artificial sweetener*

This product does supply a good source of fibre and tastes quite pleasant.However it is not cheap and should only be used if you are unable to tolerate consuming fibre from normal food sources.I would say that the danger is that people would become reliant on using this as a quick fix for their dietary fibre issues and not learn to eat food with natural fibre content.It has the benefit of being a source of fibre you can consume if you are unable to chew much solid food and could be useful for aged persons.
Fairly effective
Costly

We always have metamucil in our cupboard at home for when one of us needs some extra fibre. Sadly our diets these days are lacking and its vital to our health, so being able to take natural remedy keeps my mind at peace. The capsules, although more expensive are great for travelling - especially when camping. Highly recommend.
Great for when your diet needs a bit of a boost. Tastes fine but especially love the capsules as they're very easy to take, especially when you're away.
Texture can be difficult to take sometimes - but its fibre - can't be all good!

The cost of buying this product actually works out to be not that bad in the long run. If you are lacking a bit in your fibre intake then it is a good way to ensure you are getting enough fibre. It is very easy to take and while it is always going to be better to get your fibre from more natural foods, this is an easy way if you are lacking.
This product tastes nice, is easy to use, and ensures you get a good fibre intake easily.
Not that expensive if you are not using this product daily but rather as an extra fibre boost now and then.

From my own experience, stick with it and things will stabilize. If your gut is accustomed to a low fiber diet, this will give you diarrhea until it adjusts. You should be fine in a few days. BUT...you should split the dose, maybe 1-2 teaspoons 3 times a day, like before each meal.

The Natural Granular Metamucil lists ingredients as "psyllium husk powder, sucrose". However, further down it says "Phenylketorurics: contains phenylalanine".
There is NO phenylalanine in sucrose (nor psyllium husk) so WHY does it say this? I rang their 1 800 number in Australia and received no help - but a comment was made regarding "secret ingredients"!

I really can't answer this question. All I can say is I take the Smooth Orange and it has changed my life around.
I have collagenous colitis,
I can only recommend that you give it a try.

Does it make any difference whether you take smooth versus coarse textured Metamucil?
