METAMUCIL Fiber Supplement Powder - No Added Sweetener, 283g - Supports Digestive Health & Regularity for Adults

I take one dose of this Metamusil every day, and it has helped control the periodic emergency "runs" I had been experiencing, probably from eating a big salad every day. But I do not want sugar in it, nor do I want artificial sweeteners, and it is VERY hard to find the unsweetened Metamucil. I cannot find it in any local drug stores, and it is even scarce on Amazon, and very expensive when I do find it. So it is a matter of paying more, for less. I will continue looking for a reliable source at a reasonable price. Or I may try simply taking pure ground psyllium husks with water. Metamucil also includes some maltodextrin, and I have not been able to find out if leaving that ingredient out would make a difference in how the product works.
