Is Konsyl the same as Metamucil?

Postby wildwildwest » 18 Feb 2013, 23:13

I bought some Konsyl the other day, 100% psyllium . Is this the same as Metamucil? Also, is there a difference between Psyllium Husks Vs. Psyllium Powder?

Same thing.just make sure you get 100 percent psyllium.
And follow directions on container because konsyl might have higher fiber content than Metamucil. Miralax saved my life!

The Konsyl (psyllium) stuff tends to make my BMs a little too "big", which can be painful. I'm using more of a Benefiber (generic, from Costco) approach, which doesn't seem to bulk up as much as the Konsyl (psyllium) does.
Does anyone know what happened to Benefiber? I was using that on a daily basis, until all of a sudden it wasn't available anymore. So, I sort of stopped looking for it, and stopped taking it, much to my current dismay.
I think I've learned my lesson, and that for me, I can never again stop taking care of me, which means taking care of my diet, and the "outcome" of my diet.

Yes, I take Docusate Sodium, 100mg, twice a day. The Costco generic version of Colace.
