I can tel lyou from personal experience they do somehting in the gut. Had a bad respiratory infection for close to 3 months satrt of the year and went thru 3 courses on anti-biotics. destroyed my gut couldn't keep anyhting down. So I researched and ended up buying a case of activia and yokult downed 3 -4 bottles that day and cleared my gut up in a day. I don't fully understand the science other than it breeds\helps breed ''good germs''

Metamucil actually contains psyllium husk, and I think it's a great addition to your diet. If you are looking for a healthy lifestyle diet though, I don't recommend you simply completely replace healthy "whole" foods.
