Fiber Supplements Needed

[pmacay]

I do Metamucil every two or three months. I use Amazon, Thre is no import tax beyond the VAT 21% or so. I want it, I need it, so pay for it. That is that. Forget ML...it is much more expensive. Local fiber supplements end up costing more.

I just tried to order Metamucil from Amazon and every choice I looked at said they wouldn't ship to Argentina. Do you have an Amazon link you used recently? Thanks!

Psyllium powder I think it's about 50k pesos a kilo in Argentina, and about $50/kg in Canada, so similar priced.

The stuff in the purple bag here is a more expensive here. Netanyahu may work out cheaper per kg, but it has other stuff in, so I think it's more per kg of fiber.

Mercado libre 53k/kg psyllium husk powder

Maybe you can find it cheaper in a herboristería near you (no shipping required).

My wife enjoys the low carb diet, but it tends to be low fiber as well, which aggravates her chronic digestive issues. To counteract this, she drinks water with chia seeds as well as a topping on her daily yogurt.

Chia seeds are good and accessible, but also calorie dense. So just need to be mindful depending on your diet.
Also, I think you need to give them time to absorb the moisture prior to consuming.
