Metamucil- which works better powder form or capsules?

I get plenty of fiber, drink lots of water and get plenty of exercise but sometimes I end up having a several days when I can't go and end up super uncomfortable. I've been taking metamucil two or three times a week and that seems to help restore things but the powder form can be a pain (if you're away, or at work etc). Have any of you used the capsule form and if so, do you find they work as well?

I switched to the capsule form years ago for the very reasons you mention. Same effect. The only problem I have encountered was in switching to store brands (like Walmart). I switched back to name brands quickly.

I've been having the same problem lately. I feel very sluggish because I haven't been able to go in almost 2 weeks!! I've taken 2 laxatives yesterday and still nothing. I guess I will try metamucil and see if it works.
