You can buy fiber pills in a health food store (they won't have any additives or aspartame). Just remember to drink extra water or you could become constipated or get diarhea. Don't take the maxiumum dosage, start off real small and build yourself up, let your body get used to it first. Good Luck.

You can buy metamucil capsules at any store like your grocery store or walmart or your drug store. Metamucil also has wafers out too.
