@snash1108 posted:I noticed a lot of people on this forum take metamucil. When would be the ideal time to take it? i.e immediately before a meal? immediately after a meal? I know its going to be different for everyone, but would like to try some things that have worked for some people.
This is from Metamucil's website:
"IS IT OK TO TAKE METAMUCIL WITH FOOD ? SHOULD I TAKE IT BEFORE OR AFTER MEALS ?
Any time of day is appropriate to take Metamucil as long as an adequate intake of fluids (at least 240 mL of water or liquid per serving) is consumed. We recommend taking Metamucil three times per day at mealtimes as a convenient way to get the benefits of Metamucil. However, if you are taking Metamucil to help to temporarily suppress appetite you should take it before eating.Bulk-forming fibres like psyllium husk, may affect how well medicines work. Take this product at least 2 hours before or after medicines."

Many posters here take it before meals but I always thought that kind of kills one's appetite a little bit. Traditionally I take it at bedtime and wash down with a huge mug of herbal tea.
