Michelle, Where did you learn that from and can you tell me where I can read that? I have been taking Metamucil at the same time I take my medications and vitamins for the pass 18 years, ever since I was in rehab.

So you have to arrange your schedule so you take it either an hour before or a couple hours after any medications. (And if you need to lose weight, take it right after you eat, it will sweep many calories out with it.) Jim Lubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://makoa.org/jim disAbility Resources: http://www.makoa.org
Re: [TMIC] Metamucil
That's very interesting! Guess I better read the label. Thanks for the info!

If you put some in a glass of water and watch what happens to it over the next half hour --- you'll see how it could grab anything else that's in your stomach at the same time and enrobe it in cement and whisk it out of there undigested. (Drop a vitamin pill into the test glass at the same time see.) That's why it helps people lose weight if you take it right after a meal, it grabs some of the food. Ask your dr about it. I think you'll find that you get more of your medication vitamins if you take them at some other time. take care -- Michelle - Original Message - From: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Jim Lubin To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Westgold ; mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] ; mailto:tmic-list@eskimo.comtmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 5:09 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Metamucil Michelle, Where did you learn that from and can you tell me where I can read that?

At one time, I used to eat the Metamucil crackers. I didn't think I could stand the liquid.

Many people do not realize it, but *whatever* your bowel problems are, it will help you. If your movements are too soft, it will firm them up. If they're too hard and you have constipation, it will soften them. It's such a great product!! You might have to take it 2-3 times a day, but it's pretty cheap. Be sure you get the Smooth texture one, the regular is horrible -- and be sure that the water you mix it in is fridge-cold, otherwise it will just gum up before you can drink it. Mix drink immediately. The only problem with taking Metamucil is that you can't take it within a couple hours of any medication or supplements.
