Is there an alternative to the expensive Metamusil.?

Slippery Elm...

[harm_less]

Metamusil is principally psyllium powder which can be purchased very cheaply from the likes of health shops or online suppliers like Iherb.

Thanks for that information.

This.
You can get the stuff at most health food stores for a fraction of the cost as that brand.

Avoid the unflavoured stuff - I got some on prescription once, and it was vile.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Slippery elm doesn't need flavouring. To be vile.

But boy, it works.

. . . it really gets you going.
Do not take it with a sleeping tablet!
