      LOL I just pictured someone surrounded by wrappers of Metamucil and not a veggie in sight. “I’m getting all the fiber”.

          I looked it up out of curiosity, basically someone ate (as in it was soo much that it wasn’t drinkable) a ton of drink powder metamucil that it caused an impacted bowel.

          While taking additional fiber without talking to a doctor may not be the best plan, that’s a large step away from chugging fiber and taking well over the recommended dose.

            They describe it as being so thick he had to chew it. 30 “scoops”, and 2 liters of water. And he still had to chew it, it was that thick.

            And then even more in a peanut butter sandwich.

            Thanks, I guessed about as much. Good thing I was joking and just planning to buy some normal supplements and think about beans and vegetables more.
