What I got from the research papers and from the Metamucil jar is 7 grams of psyllium a day. (well, one paper I read used 7.25 grams a day, but that's close enough)Originally Posted by Crankin
Pretty much one "dose" (which is about 2 1/2 g fiber) with each meal.
I buy the Metamucil with sugar and flavorings, so 1 tablespoon of that is one dose. Mixed in a big glass of water, tastes kinda like orange juice, drink it fast before it congeals.
3 doses a day caused me ummmm a little distress, so I just do two. Had my chol checked a couple days ago and we'll just have to see if 2 a day is enough.
Edit To Add: one cool side effect for me is that the Metamucil seems to really help stabilize the surge in my celiac disease which afflicts me every spring. Spiffy!
