Beware of metamucil tablets!!!

So I take metamucil every day and thought it was all good until about 4 days ago I woke up feeling full and had a nagging stomach ache. I had not been able to eat anything or I would slime like a slobbery dog for hours, finally last night I had enough and I dont know what I was trying to achieve but I took a big drink of water and stuck my fingers down my throat and up came these long swollen sausage shaped worms WHAT THE @#$% is that? I was thinking until it dawned on me it was the metamucil tablets. I felt instantly better. So be careful about how you take your fibre, god knows how Im going to get it now cos I cant keep the fibre drink down either.

Re: Beware of metamucil tablets!!!

I use benefibre - I sprinkle 2 tsps on my porride, or blend it into my soups/casseroles. It has no taste or texture at all.

My doc says to only use Benefibre as it doesn't congeal into that gelatinous mass like metamucil and a lot of the other fibre additives!
