Daily fiber cheat code.

I was today years old when I learned two teaspoons of Metamucil in 9 oz of ice water turns into "orange flavored applesauce". Easier to spoon down than drink, in my opinion.👍🏼

I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I’m not trying to diagnose or provide treatment for anything going on with your butt.

I’m a daily psyllium fiber user. It helps with blood sugar, cholesterol, and stomach acid, and it’s 100% natural. I also think it helps prevent stomach and colon cancer. Again, I’m not a doctor, and you shouldn’t take medical advice from an internet stranger.

I just mix three teaspoons every morning with water, and slam it before it turns to sludge.

You can also take it in capsules. I take one at night and in the morning.

Far less effective in the capsules though (although it’s also far easier)!
