Does one make a Brocho
when drinking unflavored Metamusil solution as it does not provide any
nourishment?
Isaac
A: Dear Isaac,
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a is of the opinion that you do make a Shehakol
even though there is no nourishment, simply because of the water that the
product is dissolved in and it is also seen as food. Was it to be only pure
fibber (as in inedible wood cellulose), no Brochoh would be required as it is
not food.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld, as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a
