You mentioned in the fiber thread that if you don't drink enough water it would "stick" in your gut. What did you mean by that? Constipate you? Or....?
Hi Joanie:Until Jennifer gets back to you -- yes, if you don't drink enough water with fiber it will bulk up and constipate you. It's not a good feeling, so keep drinking that water!
Hi Joanie:I forgot to add that it could also cause choking. The Perdiem container I have says, "Take this product (child or adult dose) with at least 8 ounces (a full glass) of cool water or other fluid. Taking this product without enough liquid may cause choking."I have some Metamucil and it says the same thing. JeanG
To Joanie:Yes, I meant constipating, as well as the choking mentioned on the container...it has a tendency to get caught in your esophagus...I didn't mean to confuse anyone...I was just trying to use a simple word to describe what happens.
