I am not a newby but I was reading my metamucil jar today and it has both dietary and soluble fiber......My question is, What is the difference between the 2. Can I subtract both to get my net carbs? Help , please

Soluable fibre is like psyllium husks. When you put a spoonful into water they turn gel like. You can deduct both because your system will not absorb them, only pass then through.

BTW my mom was buying Metimusal and I told her about buying bulk psyillium husks in the grocery store in bulk (much cheeper) and it works just as good for her & she's in her mid 60's, she doesn't do LC though, but she eats has always eaten whole grains in moderation.

Thank you , Ghost, for clearing that up for me. I wish I could get things in bulk here in my town. Alas, I have to travel 3 hours to Phoenix to be able to shop like that.

Thanks,
Nanci
