Beth, I actually drink about 48 oz. or so of water. But I get
water from the lettuce in the salad I eat, and plus ahem, in
the coffee and apple juice I drink. -Bob

I'm not sure if I should increase one and reduce another...and which ones to experiment with. Right now I take one dose Miralax, 2 1/2 dose of Citrucel, 1 Tablespoon of Flaxmeal, and 2000-3000 mg of triphala.

I don't know if I'm ODing on one of them...if I should stop one of them, or if I should increase one of them.

Where your BMS "bulkier" when you increase the amount of flax you took?

Does the IF have any impact on your stool consistency?

Do you think if I reduced the Miralax...like taking it every other day or maybe 1/2 doses every day, it would help the incomplete, messy, continuous amounts of BMs? I go like 8 times a day, sometimes, but it's always small amounts and so messy...you know what I mean!

...different drugs/supplements?

Does flax make your "BMs" bulkier?
