Show: for
Metamucil gives a bunch of gas, but I love citracel.
but it bloated me bad
Helped me go to the bathroom, but gave me horrible stomach cramps and gas.
Doesn't seem to make BMs more bulky and doesn't increase frequency of BM. Helps with bloated feeling.
yh this helped me
Fiber tablets have been somewhat helpful; however, I have still had symptoms.
On my 2nd day i started getting heat feelings on my arms/skin on my 4th day i got extreme heat on my backside and a slight pain under my left sholder this am day 6 my whole back has this sensation and i am jittery, it is freaking me out. I went to the bathroom and feel a little better, but am i allergic to psyllium or is this normal for this cleansing??? i am afraid to go on, because the sensation is getting worse each time i take the 1/2 teaspoon w/water
Trying...we will see.
but should be good for my constipation
I've heard a lot about psyilium supplements, I just never got them.
