Equate Multi-Health Daily Fiber Supplement Orange Flavored Powder, Value Size (48.2 oz), Compare to Metamucil® 4-in-1 Multihealth Fiber™

If you are like me, using a GLP-1 injection has had its ups and downs regarding GI issues. On top of that, I recently caught a stomach bug that made life really difficult. This product was a huge help, but here are 5 things I learned to get the best results: Give it time: You might see the fiber start to work in 12-72 hours, but the real magic happened for me after about two weeks. The relief of not constantly worrying about finding a bathroom or canceling plans was incredible. Talk to your doctor: I exchanged several emails with my doctor before I understood how much something as simple as fiber could help. It's worth the conversation. Consider a probiotic: I personally found success adding a probiotic with a multi-enzyme (Walmart has good options). Again, run this by your doctor first. Start slow: I was advised to add the fiber gradually. I started with once a day before bed, and now I take it three times a day with meals. This method worked great for me. Watch your liquid intake: My routine is to drink the recommended amount of water with the fiber, but then wait about an hour before drinking anything else. This really helped me get the full benefits (while staying hydrated the rest of the day). I hope you find what you need with this product. Be well, friends, and take good care!

I don't have intestines and such so I have to take it two to three times a day. It works great for bulking up chronic diarrhea. As far as the taste... I put it in juice. It's not really a bad taste, it's more of a texture thing, which leads me to my next point...drink it quickly as it starts to bulk in the cup. Is it as good as the name brand, absolutely. And, it less costly.
