after going to my primary care physician for a complete physical - mainly to check my nuts out and to also take a peek at my slowly healing ass - he recommended to get on metamucil.
as i am not fond of these OTC fiber supplements, as i do my best to at least intake 30 g of fiber each day through veggies, fruits, grains, prunes, soy and other grain milk products, etc., i went to the fiber supplement shelves at the CVS nearby work and was just disappointed by all these items packed with artificial ingredients.
i wasn't excited to have to drink a fiber supplement so when i came across the Metamucil wafers, which also had an extra 2 g of fiber over the regular Metamucil mix to water product (the only bad is that the wafers do have a lot more ingredients, many which are unnatural, over the mix), I decided to try it.
the wafers are small enough and come 2 in a packet and per box, you get like 12 packets - so 24 wafers in all. Each 2 wafers is about 100 calories with 40 calories to fat, 5 grams of fiber. you can eat up to 3 packets per day to reach your fiber goals.
comes in apple crisp and cinnamon spice.
the cinnamon spice is delightful and almost tastes like a guilty pleasure. i actually had 3 packets yesterday! LOL.
looking forward to trying the apple crisp.
it is recommended to take 8-10 oz of water with each packet.

as much as the miralax and its generic knock-offs look appealing, i am reluctant to even try it. mabye if it came in a delicious wafer with little to no unnatural ingredients, i would have been in my check-out basket!
i've worked really hard to get all unnatural stuff out of my system i just don't want to add it back in.
