    Unrelated but Metamucil is actually pretty awesome. I love spicy food but my stomach isn’t so good at it, but if I take fiber beforehand I’m usually okay. Although since it’s just fiber you can usually just get the store brand to do the same thing.

      Yeah I down some psyllium husk capsules every couple of days on general principles. Makes my innards happier.

        Fiber supplements in general are pretty sweet and I think it’s the elderly’s best-kept secret.

        Personally I prefer fiber gummies though. Same ingredient but more concentrated. Get the same dose from 5 capsules in two gummies.

      I take it daily because it keeps my insides on a schedule. Regular, you might say.

      Also, Costco has two packs of the huge Metamucil containers pretty cheap
