Metamucil is a must. I take the one with sugar because the other one has aspartame. I take it every night at bedtime so if it is going to cause any gas at least im in bed.
It absorbs the water in the colon
It bulks and forms the stool
It makes stools easier to pass so you arent straing and causing hemmeroids
it cleans the walls of the colon
Its just a good thing to take, start small and gradually increase
