Don’t take Metamucil. Almost as bad as eating raw kale everyday! Did I make you squirm? Made me squirm just writing this. I took Benefiber daily for a few weeks. It gave me a SBO which sent me to the hospital again.
I take an extra strength stool softener every night. That is the orange gel pill. If needed, I also take Myralax.
The fiber supplements have too much fiber. I always thought that if it was in liquid form, it wouldn’t be an issue. I was wrong.
