Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Hi Joseph, I haven't tried it, but I would think that the consistency would be fine. May I suggest something a bit better than Metamucil? The main ingredient in Metamucil is psyllium hulls. Then the company adds sugar, or aspertame if it is the sugar-free kind. My suggestion would be to just get the straight psyllium hulls from any health food store (even Trader Joe's has some). It is a very cheap supplement and better not to have the additives.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Just a warning about Psyllium. You need to drink HEAPS of water with it, and in some cases like myself, my body didn['t cope with it. It dried inside of me like chaff, and I was so constipated on it. it had the reverse effect.

Hi Tracy, Ground organic flax works as well (and give you a good dose of undamaged Omega 3 LNA) and is not so harsh. An older couple I put on it was amazed how well it worked and will never touch Psyllium again. ======================== Good Health & Long Life, Greg Watson, http://optimalhealth.cia.com.au gowatson USDA database (food breakdown) http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ PubMed (research papers) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi DWIDP (nutrient analysis) http://www.walford.com/dwdemo/dw2b63demo.exe Patch file for above http://www.walford.com/download/dwidp67u.exe KIM (omega analysis) http://ods.od.nih.gov/eicosanoids/KIM_Install.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 I had a simular experience with adding flaxseed to cottage cheese. No constipation but it got clogged in the upper GI and I thought I had an ulcer or hiatal hernia or something. Put spoon of ground flaxseed in a glass and cover it with water and you will see how much moisture it absorbs.
