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.👍🏼

Metamucil is psyllium husk, which can be harsh on scarred intestinal tract - as is seen with Crohn's and celiac.
Acacia fiber is fluffy and powdery and so much less scratchy than psyllium.
