Metamucil & pregnancy?

[Snacks]

It is ok to have this while pg isn't it? (I am sure I've read that somewhere...)
For those that drink it... OMG - HOW?!? I tried a glass this morning and could only drink half. I bought the 'smooth' one but it still tasted powdery? Is there a way to mix it better?
TIA.

It's fine... I just can't drink the stuff, though! I use the capsules. As you can imagine with being on three iron tablets per day, they were a VERY good friend to me during second trimester!

I didn't realise there were capsules...
I'll bet. I am just not feeling 'right' this pregnancy so was hoping this would give me a gentle boost. Maybe drinking it will get easier over time...

I used it once or twice when I found out I was preggers.
I bought the berry flavour and mixed it with milk and found it OK
I could never drink the last bit tho! haha

I used the smooth Orange one during my Pg. The first time I used it I almost gagged. I found the best way was to keep the liquid moving by stirring, and just take a sip at a time. Trying to scull it is a bab idea!!! It is not something that gets better with time, so dont let it sit around to thicken.

Yep totally fine while pregnant.. used it with both pregnancies.
Try using cold water. I found if i use tap water or room temperature water then it was thick and ehh thick and grose.. found if i used cold water from the fridge, make sure its disolved properly of course, then it was alot easier to drink.
