Is it cool to drink Metamucil? I'm 14 weeks I didn't need it last time not sure I need help.
Thanks

I prefer a product by Shaklee called Herbalax. Take one or two tabs at bedtime and in the morning you have bm. Perfectly safe. I'm 30 weeks and use the product maybe once per week or less. Watch your diet to make sure you get enough fiber. Drink all the water you can stand to help flush your system. Eat plenty of veggies. If you don't care for many, eat what you do like. Winter squash (such as acorn) is great for fiber. I cut in half, add a dab of butter and a tablespoon of brown sugar, or sometimes a piece of raw bacon, and cook in oven or covered in microwave till tender. My whole family including two young children LOVE this.
I don't like alot of the drugstore laxative products because of the intestinal cramping, night sweats, or other problems. Try this things or basic alfalfa tabs from the drugstore. Best wishes.

my dr told me Metamucil is perfectly safe as it is just fibre, but you need to drink a lot of water during the day or it doesnt work. I had some serious constipation this week where I almost went to the hospital, I was in so much pain. So Im drinking it on a reg basis now so that hopefully wont happen again.

ask your doc if its ok first thats what i got told

metamucil works well but you do need to drink a lot of water. if you have a juicer, every other morning, juice 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup kale or spinach, 1 apple, 1 cup parsley & 2 sticks celery and it doesnt taste half bad! on the other day drink a cup of warm water with a little lemon juice. ive suffered constipation all my life which is especially bad when im pregnant. this routine with a glass of metamucil at night keeps me regular. happy bm's!
