Summary: Works better than the competition
Comment: I finally bit the bullet, admitted I'm getting older and that I'm starting to have some of the classic problems of those who "get older". So I tried a number of fiber products, and I discovered that not all "fiber" sources are created equal.
First, psyllium fiber works really well for me, especially better than things like inulin (Fiber Choice), methylcellulose (Citrucel), and whatever it is that the government counts as fiber in breakfast cereal and "energy bars".
Second, the wafers also provide a greater (sometimes far greater) amount of fiber than do the other "convenience" methods of comsuming fiber -- the various tablets and caplets. Check the labels and you'll see.
Third, the psyllium in these wafers "swells" a bit when you eat them (you end up needing to drink a little.) This is not a bad thing: when both my parents got "stomach flu" a couple weeks ago, this is exactly the product that their doctor recommended to bring things under control.
Finally, they taste good and they don't require a ritual of dissolving things in water. Which increases the likelihood that I'll actually go ahead and do it every day. This is a Good Thing.

Summary: Cookies!! (well...almost!)
Comment: These yum yums taste just like crispy apple cookies! Truly! I LOVE 'em. They make a great light "dessert" and are perfect in the morning with a nice cup of coffee or tea. In light of my ever-present weight loss plan, I do wish they had fewer calories (120 cal. for 2 wafers) and I also think they would even more delicious if they had a tad more cinnamon flavor, but all-in-all these are a real treat. Will definitely buy again :)

Summary: Can be considered first breakfast / snack
Comment: These are like crunchy cookies, conveniently packaged in sets of 2 for travel or popping in my purse. I bought them initially for my hubby's business trips - just for health when traveling to less healthy parts of the US (where wilted salad comes drowned with heavy dressing and fried onion rings!). We all love them so much, we eat it at home too. It's especially great with coffee. I wish it smelled a little more like fresh baked cookies, but it doesn't smell bad either. It certainly can qualify as a treat food. Recommended for the bulk of us who don't get the fiber we need. The stereotype for this is for regularity, but we do it for intestinal health to prevent diverticulosis, polyps, and colon cancer which is all too common.

Summary: Better than Pop Tarts
Comment: Granny was out of the apple-cinnamin pop tarts the other morning, so I grabbed a couple of these crunchy wafers and ran out the door.
I did a lot of running that day.
Don't understand the Metamucil Fiber: There ain't no metal or cloth in stuff ya eat. And laxative is that stuff in milk, I believe, so I don't know why apple wafers have a name that don't mean apple wafers, I just know they're plenty tasty.
Something kind of weird, though, is that I find myself spending more and more time in the half-moon these days. Which is okay, I reckon, since I get to spend more time with Grandpa Knob (he spends most of his day in the shed). We talk about lots of things, including coon dogs, moonshine, Cousin Buford's man-breasts, and which comes first--the chicken or gravy. Don't know how this comes up when I'm writin' a review about apple wafers, but what the hey: You gotta eat, and you gotta. . .you know.
I recommend these wafers, just like I recommend indoor plumbing. For some reason, the two go hand-in-hand.
