Great Addition to your high-fiber diet!,
These crunchy fiber wafers look and taste like cookies and they make a good between meal or on the go snack. They have 120 calories per serving and some fat and sugar, but thankfully no artifical sweeteners. If you live on them as a daily supplement, you might get a little tired of them, so it would be great if they came in a variety pack. They are also available in cinnamon, but I am not sure if the pricing options are the same. Also they seem to taste best and it’s easier to swallow them when you eat them along with a hot drink such as tea or coffee. If you eat them with cold water (such as in the car on the go), you may find them sticking to your teeth and they may seem gummy in consistency. There may be an adjustment period of a few days while your body gets used to the extra fiber and you may experience some mild abdominal cramping or discomfort. Supposedly Metamucil with psyllium fiber is good for any irregularity, so you may find that they help with both constipation and loose bowel movements. The extra fiber that you incorporate into your diet may be helpful in reducing bloating and reducing your calorie intake. For another helpful addition, try Mestemacher’s varieties of whole grain German breads – also available on Amazon for a good price in a 12-pack. Also add nuts and chia seeds for additional fiber and nutrition.

|Good and Effective,
This tastes great and helps in bowel movement. People who complain must know how to eat is correctly with a liquid like tea or lemonade or anything they like.

|eat small bites, people,
Several reviewers mention that the wafers stick to their gums and teeth. They are probably eating them like regular wheat or oatmeal cookies, so of course the psyllium fiber is going to wad up in their mouth. It’s psyllium, folks. It helps the bowels precisely because it forms a gel with water … Wheat and oatmeal cookies don’t do this, they just crumble and dissolve in your mouth. So don’t gobble the psyllium wafers in huge bites like a wheat/oatmeal cookie, and keep drinking the water while you eat.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A HAPPY PSYLLIUM WAFER EXPERIENCE:
Step 1: Take a small bite.
Step 2: Chew.
Step 3: Swallow.
Step 4: Drink some water or other liquid.
Repeat Steps 1-4 until wafer is gone and your glass of water is empty. Don’t rush. Enjoy!
Make sure you end up drinking at least a full glass of water in the process. I really like the taste of both the cinnamon and apple versions myself, so it isn’t hard to slow down and enjoy it. If you don’t like the taste for any reason – try other forms of Metamucil (powders, capsules) if you need the medical benefit.
If you’re taking it for constipation – don’t expect instant results. It’s not really a laxative that forces the bowels to move things along (actually can be used for diarrhea as well as constipation and any problems in between) but helps to normalize bowel function via its gel-forming properties, which is better in the long run. It’s so safe that it can even be used for cats (well, not the wafers…) at appropriate doses, which is not often the case since cats are so sensitive and their little kitty livers are so inefficient compared to dogs and humans.
