Re: I'm trying to take the psyllium too, but...       08/15/05 08:37 AM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 So, on the one hand it's working because you're going every other day, right? That's great, Beth! One victory for you! I would say stick with the pyillium for another two weeks at your current dose. It's only been 11 days right? It seems that your body is probably still adjusting to it so I wouldn't increase it significantly. The fact that you're going means it's working, the fact that you have gas and bloating may only mean that you're still in that adjustment phase. Instead of taking 1/2 tsp at night, could you take 1/4 tsp in the morn and 1/4 at night? Perhaps this will make it easier? I'm sure you're drinking plenty of water with it! Have you tried drinking peppermint tea in the morning and then with each meal? This would help the "rumbly" feeling. Then try drinking fennel AFTER a meal in order to help with the bloating and gas. The 1 T flaxseed in oatmeal along with the Metamucil might be too much. I never know with flaxseed. I'm D, but when I was first stable I took flaxseed (also 1 T in my oatmeal)and then started to have looser stools or what I called "little bits." Then after increasing that dose I had a bad D attack and learned the hard way that flaxseed isn't really recommended for D. HOWEVER, it's supposed to be good for Cs right? Did you work your way up to 1 T? Maybe you could try using only half. Don't make too many changes at once, though, or you won't know what was bothering you. I hope I was of some help since I'm not a C person. But I kind of have to figure out stuff like this for myself too. I think I need a wall of nothing but charts and calendars and a wipeboard with many different colored pens in order to keep track of what I'm eating, what works, what doesn't.
