gertie Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Anyone have an neurological side effects from taking it? I only took 1/4 tsp full & about 30 min later I felt really weird. I feel like my ears had fluid in them & I couldn't think clearly. I had not eaten anything else. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 How long had it been since you'd eaten? I would think it was doubtful that Metamucil would cause neurological effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 It had been a couple hours since I ate. I'm thinking it may be the citric acid or dye in the product.thanks for reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarfgirl Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Took Metamucil for a while, now I'm taking Benefiber. Never had problems with either one. Couldn't imagine it causing a problem either, unless you reacted to the artificial coloring/flavoring in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 There are quite a few people allergic the psyllium. It will bloat you and what you describe are allergy symptoms. I can't take it either. It makes me sickkkkk. I can use Benefiber. It has no taste and you can put it in your coffee, tea, food -whatever and you don't know it's there. I've found when I have a bad food allergy reaction, taking a vitamin B complex and a Vit C - together help counteract it within about 30 minutes. I also cant use flax. Same reaction.
