I take Metamucil and it works fine.  I take it in the morning and at night.  Yes you do have to mix it immediately and drink immediately.

@50Mickey my gastro recommended 1 capful of Miralax in my coffee every morning to keep regular.

Psyllium fiber also helps to reduce cholesterol.

@Icegoddess. My dad took it for years for that reason.  It's fiber.

I tried something (don't remember what), but couldn't get passed the taste. I have a bowl of raisin bran every morning and have had luck with that.

Psyllium is in a lot of fiber priducts. It gives me gas. I take a probiotic and eat fibrous foods instead of fiber supplements.

I take Benefiber--comes in stick packs that are tastless and clear. I put it in my morning hot choc ---I have no issues with any harsh side effects or bloating. It is a prebiotic as well. I am taking it for digestive reasons but also fiber it good for cholesterol issues too. also give it to my old lady cat ---good for her tummy too!
