Metamucil powder or capsules? Can I take them?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have always struggled with constipation and used to take Metamucil

pretty much every night. When I started the SCD diet I stopped the

metamucil since the powder has sugar. I have been on the diet for

over a week and am horribly constipated even though I seem to be

eating plenty of fiber. So I bought some sugar free Metamucil, but

then saw that it has malodextrin in it. Are the capsules safe? Is

anything safe for Constipation (prune juice doesn't help either). I

know my body is probably just adjusting to the diet, but I need

something to help! Thanks!
