Beware, sugar-free Metamucil .. and similar s/f flavoured psyllium products ... HAS CARBS! If you read the label, you'll see that one teaspoon (5g) has 3.4g fiber from the psyllium, and 1.4g digestible carbs from maltodextrin which is used as a filler.

As Kristine suggested, you'll save money AND save carbs by purchasing plain psyllium husks or psyllium husk powder from a health food store ... or possibly you may find it in bags where vitamins are sold. WalMart carries it.
