I have IBS and have found that daily fiber along with avoiding my triggers (in my case, chocolate and red wine... just shoot me now), I have no IBS symptoms. You have to take 5 capsules a day but that's not the product's fault... there is a certain amount you need whether it's a pill or a powder or a capsule. I take it at night, 2 capsules plus a fish oil capsule (for heart, skin, eyes), then on another swallow I take the other 3. I could take all 5 at once but why bother. It's not a big deal and I like that there is also a version of the product with calcium in it. I would have given 5 stars if it was a little less expensive.

Got these for my husband who usually uses Psyllium Husks. This product was not as effective as the pure psyllium husks.

Comments about Metamucil Psyllium Fiber Capsules, 160 ea:
I started to have a severe problem with constipation. Going to the bathroom was becoming painful enough to be scary. Then I seen these capsules. I remembered my mother taking the powder form of this, and that she didn't like it very well but it did work. So I ordered a bottle. After taking my first dose I had an easy bowel movement the very next day and have been pretty regular ever since without suffering the extensive pain I was having.
It says to take 6 a day, but I've only been taking two every morning and so far that has been sufficient for me.
If you are having trouble, at least give this a try because it has worked a miracle for me.

These are easy to use (I take 2 before bedtime and 2 in the morning with a cup of water each time). Convenient when traveling. Very good to increase your fiber intake from food.
Comments about Metamucil Psyllium Fiber Capsules, 160 ea:
I was advised by two doctors to take this for my IBS. Fibercon caused my diarrhea to become more severe, so I had my doubts about trying this product. However, it didn't make my diarrhea any worse. But, it did cause severe abdominal cramping and a horrible stomachache.
Comments about Metamucil Psyllium Fiber Capsules, 160 ea:
This product, coupled with the priscription medicine Cholestyramine, has solved my 23 year problem with chronic diarrhea. Due to radiation treatment for cancer I have some necrosis of the colon. This causes severe and chronic diarrhea - along with irritated hemmoroids. We have searched for years and tried a variety of treatments. My new doctor reccommended coupling the two aforementioned products and he changed my daily life! The two combine to work magic on a woman who has suffered for years and years. The diarrhea is gone, the irritated hemmoroids are no more, and the relief is something I can not describe. When he suggested Metamucil, I thought he was nuts because I always thought it was used only for its laxative effects. Now, I thank him every day for his wisdom. Using a prescription drug usually used to lower cholestorol and using Metamucil turned out to be the miracle combination. What a lovely surprise!
