<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear listmembers: I'm wondering if anyone can advise me about metamucil. My celiac doctor recently (two weeks) recommended metamucil twice a day for added fibre. He assured me it was not just for constipation as the bottle indicates. So far I have had terrible gas and only diarreah. The doctor did say it was a bit of an adjustment for the gut (like eating beans everyday??). Does anybody else take this stuff regularly?? Should I keep it up. Many,many thanks Susan
