            Hi-          Thanks for the seven replies about Metamucil.
One uses it, and one said to avoid it (although that person had other
food restrictions, too).  Two recommended Citrucel.  Two suggested raw
psyllium fiber from health food store (apple juice can be sweetener).
Also mentioned was the prune alternative.
