? ABOUT FIBER SUPPLEMENT

Postby Sue1962 » 01 Dec 2011, 20:44

Has anyone tried Konsyl??? I don't do well with fiber supplements, but CRS gave me some to try. Just wondering if anyone has used it.

Hi Sue. I use Konsyl every day and it works well for me. It's on the same idea as Metamucil only the Konsyl is 100% natural and contains the most fiber per teaspoon (6 gms). It does not mix well and tastes horrid, think sawdust, but it does work well. Try to mix it with a spot of hot water first and then stir riggorously. It can produce gas as all the supplements do so be cautious in how much you use. I would start with maybe half a teaspoon in the AM and half in the PM to see how it works for you.
