| Because production has slowed down over the last few days, I have decided to give the sandy water a try. Question though. Do you take Metamucal before or after you eat? Is there an amount of time you should wait before or after eating to take it? |

sandy water! :lol:
I use benefiber in my morning coffee before breakfast and it seems to work ok. I prefer it over metamucil because it disolves better. |

| I take Metamucil s-f before I eat my main meals. I read somewhere that it helps to coat on the way down so we're not as hungry and get's the stomach working to breakdown our food better. It said try drinking 15 minutes before eating from what I recall but for me sometimes may only be 5 or 10. I use refrigerator water...seems to help go down easier. After awhile I got used to the grit and it's not as noticable. It's just remembering to take it for me. |

| Instead of Metamucil, you can buy psyllium powder in bulk at the health food store. That's all Metamucil is -- and it's probably a lot cheaper. |
