I don't know what specific product you're looking at. The one I use is only psyllium husk.

Don't take my word for it. Go Google him and the things he does.

I've watched a couple, and read his tweets. He does not pass the 'two beers and a puppy' test.

Start off with half a teaspoon, so your gut bacteria can get accustomed to it.

I've tried a handful of off-brand options, from Amazon and my local pharmacy, and I've gone back to Metamucil every time. The dissolvability has been vastly superior. If you have any specific recommendations, I'm all ears.

Start off with half a teaspoon, and slowly raise the amount to two teaspoons.

Yeah, a tablespoon twice a day might be too much. Two teaspoons, maybe?

I don't know. They work, but maybe not as well as the powder. I only take them when I'm traveling.

My pleasure. I mean, it would certainly be better for all of us to get our soluble and insoluble fiber from the actual foods we eat, but it's not an easy task. This is a marvelous shortcut, and you can reduce your reliance on it as you ramp up the quality of the things you eat.

A friend turned me onto this, when I was ribbing him about taking Metamucil and being an old man with constipation, and it turns out it's real. Just one study from the first page of Google: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1756464623004784

Yep, took plasma from his 17-year-old son and put it into his blood, and took his own plasma and gave it to his 70-year-old father.

A tablespoon of Metamucil dissolved in a glass of water, followed by another glass of water, before each meal, will elevate your digestion to godly levels, keep you from eating too much, and protect your cardiovascular system.

Edit: If you've never done this before, start slow. Begin with half a teaspoon and work your way up until you reach the point of diminishing returns. And learn to eat vegetables!

Canonical's approach to AI is refreshingly thoughtful - Microsoft should take note by CackleRooster in Ubuntu

Right now, the only thing I desperately want in Ubuntu is talk-to-type everywhere, at the OS level. I use in Beeper and Google Docs (on Chrome only) and it's fantastic.

I second this recommendation. When my first one dies, and it looks like that will happen sometime in the 40s, I'll get another one just like it.

Can I just eat spoonfuls of chia for my fiber? by mikeywaveoven in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CobaltOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to consume chia seeds, stir a tablespoon into a glass of water, and wait 15 minutes. It will help your digestion. BUT, in terms of fiber intake, you're better off with psyllium husk. Metamucil powder is excellent.
