Hello, I have some extra weight, I gain it after I gave birth. I could not get to my previous weight, even though I have tried a lot of different things. I also have constipation problems and irregular defecation. Since this bothers me a lot, I have started taking Metamucil. My question is - does drinking metamucil help you lose weight at all or gain weight?

Metamucil is a laxative that acts by filling the intestinal space, activates its motions, which lead to eliminating constipation. Also, time that food needs to go through the stomach is normalized and prevents excessive water absorption from colon, and this prevents creation of a firm stool. Metamucil does this thanks to its structure (he is made of some plant fibers). So, Metamucil can only help with losing weight.
