I’ve only had to use it sparingly. Just when a rhythm gets interrupted by travel or something like that. My plumbing is like clock work so missing the timing can mess things up! 😉
Going through chemo and then the challenges of a bone marrow transplant, I’d take only 1/2 of the little premeasured packets maybe once a week. It actually helped with my nausea by cutting down on the urges to use the bathroom when there were smaller movements during the day. TMI but it is what it is. Or was. LOL

However, my husband uses it daily as directed by his gastroenterologist and I remember my dad using it daily. Metamucil is an excellent source of fiber. It’s not a laxative at all. But it does help keep things cohesive. And that in turn helps with the natural peristaltic movement of our intestinal tract. It also has had a big affect on my husband’s cholesterol count. He’s off statins now!!
