Psyllium husk powder, can buy in Coles, maybe elsewhere, is metamucil without the flavour and price hike.
When I use it, I mix a teaspoonful or so with a cup of cranberry juice (real juice, not flavoured drink) and leave it sit until it becomes a jelly. Eat like dessert if you want.

Re: Good Morning
Yes I bought Psyllium from Woolworths to cut down on costs originally. But for some reason the Diabetes educator suggested Metamucil. I think I'll go back to the old Psyllium to see if I get better results. I still have old bags of ordinary Psyllium husk. I notice its more jelly-like kind of bulky when you drink it compared to Metamucil @BlueBells

that's why I put it in juice, to prevent chance of it "bulking" while trying to drink it.
Does the educator have a reason for preferring Metamucil? Also makes one ponder, if natural "bulks" and Metamucil doesn't, just what have they done to it?
Powder is better than husks, I think. It's a few years ago, but I searched for sites that sounded legit.

I can't remember why I was told to go on the cranberry juice, and she suggested to combine the two. I do remember it was some sort of digestive thing, can't remember what now.

Re: Good Morning
Hey @BlueBells sorry I skipped your message today. I scrolled past my notifications and lost your message. Maybe Metamucil is just standard advice from diabetes educators. I don't know. But I noticed with powdered Psyllium there was a lot more gel once you mixed it with water compared to Metamucil. Cranberry is usually recommended with UTI's, haven't heard anything related to colon but I will look it up. I have to be careful with sugar. I've ben told if I need Cranberry juice to select the "Lite" version.

Evening all
@TAB @Meowmy @Former-Member @Bill16 @Oaktree @BlueBalls
Do hope you're all well.
Had a quiet work day today which was nice. Decided to avoid the coffee shop and got a long black elsewhere as I had time. Managed to get omelette in too for brekky.
Saw old colleague after work. Prior to which I got some maccas lol.
Just got home now. Off to bed.
Felling gratitude but also impressed with how far I've come.
Take care you forumites and see you round as always

True, diabetes makes a few things complicated.
I steer clear of anything "lite" as it usually means full of artificial sweeteners. So far, I've allergies to every one, so I figure natural is better. I don't have much sugar anyway, not really a sweet tooth.
Ocean Spray is pure cranberry, doesn't have any added anything, so might be lower in sugars for you. Yes, tart, but I find as a jelly, not that bad.
Must admit, I sometimes add cream, or ice cream, but I often eat just as straight jelly.
