I've read that Metamucil wafers are good for "thickening". I've got some from the USA but how many should I take without getting a blockage?
All suggestions welcome.

MrsH,

You will have to experiment and see what you like. I eat one wafer with each meal and that works well for me. Others eat less. You might try 1/2 wafer with each meal and see if that bulks things up for you.

If you have a j-pouch you shouldn't really have to worry about fiber blocking things up. If you have an ostomy, start slow with the fiber,

Hi
Thanks so much for your reply -it's good to know I'm not going to risk a blockage.
I am sitting here happily munching half a wafer as you suggested !!

Have a good day.

MrsH
