I was wondering if I took a heaping glass of metamucil powder before each meal if my chances of hypertension would diminish. First of all the fiber absorbs a lot of food and flushes it thru the system. Second point is that the rest of the food gets absorbed at a much slower rate.Just a thought.Seems like you would absorb less tyramine and at a much slower rate.

Perhaps, although I would be concerned that the Metamucil might also absorb some of the medication. Metamucil should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after medication.

>I wouldn't take the metamucil within two hours of my med. However take it a half hour before a meal. Seems to absorb a lot of food as I use it for dieting.
