There are more than one type of metamucil...one has no added sweeteners. It is the "original" formulation. They also make at least one other that is "flavored" . That is the one I believe which has the aspartame..The label on the one I have says psyllium, maltodextrin (which IS sugar) and citric acid. This one has 5 g of carbs, which I assume is from the maltodextrin, (interestingly listed as an inactive ingredient?) and 3 g of fiber.
{I have been on nearly everything under the sun which Walgreens sells for this problem... OTC as well as RX for the big "C" in the last 8 weeks trying to make sure I don't end up with an obstruction again.} Colace is also part of my regimen. And Miralax...and MgCitrate. {All Dr's orders and all things I can't wait to be rid of!}
