Metamucil vs Psyllium

Digestive health

Hi all,

Just been diagnosed this year and recovering from a second bout of the dreaded D

Reading the discussions, I note that Metamucil is seen as somewhat of a holy grail although expensive!  Reading up, it seems to mainly be psyllium husk.  Is this the case and why should I go for Metamucil over a cheaper psyllium alternative?

Ian..you can just buy a generic name of the same stuff, just ask the pharmacist.

I debated that as well. Metamucil is all that. The other product has additives. Do what is best for you. I'm so skeptical that I do exactly what my surgeon recommended.
