 Metamucil
is soluble fiber. Other forms
of soluble fiber are oats (if
you buy your oats from a manufacturer
that only produces oats you’re
safe from injurious gluten peptides),
and stemmed vegetables. Brown
rice and other non-gluten-containing
grains such as amaranth and quinoa
have insoluble fiber.
You
need a mixture of both kinds of
fibers for optimal bowel health.
Berries are another source, especially
blackberries, raspberries and
boysenberries.
Basically,
there are a lot of non-gluten
sources of healthy fiber, so enjoy!
Answer
to “Is Metamucil gluten
free?”:
According to the Metamucil
website, all Metamucil
Powders and Capsules are gluten-free.
Metamucil Wafers, however, contain
gluten (Apple 0.7g/dose; Cinnamon
0.5g/dose) because they have wheat
flour as an ingredient.
