I had chronic digestive issues which almost completely disappeared after taking Metamucil.

Then, about a year later changed my diet and started tracking macros. Was able to stop taking Metamucil after balancing them properly.

I’d consider Metamucil a bandaid, it is easier to supplement than rehaul your entire diet. But the latter is better in the long run for sure.

> started tracking macros

what does that mean?

I'm not the original commenter, but it stands for macronutrients. The breakdown of the daily intake of food by understanding the protein, carbs, fats, and fiber.
