Why does metamucil make my stomach hurt so bad?

I've starting taking metamucil too for the same reason. How often are you using it? It says on the back to take it 3x a day. Im starting off at one to ease into it. I'm panicked about the laxative effect. I don't know why its hurting your stomach so badly. Again, maybe you should just use it maybe 1x day and see how you feel. Good luck and low numbers yay!!

Why does metamucil make my stomach hurt so bad?

Lately ive been taking metamucil because my cholestoral is a little high. Usually almost an hour after taking it my stomach will hurt really bad. Kind of like on and off for the rest of the day, anyone know why? Is there something wrong with me?

It sounds like there is something wrong. Go to your doctor - Tell them, in detail like this (because the more detail you give, the easier it is for them to diagnose you correctly). You sound constipated for a start. It should be at least a day in between! Change your diet. It could be really harming you, and it looks like it already is.

metamucil is to help you take a dump. it makes a lot of gas too, which hurts like a motherf*

it does nothing for cholesterol

maybe your taking too much.. or it could be that your stomach doesn't allow it... find something else before you ruin your insides...

Find a better doctor.
