I've tried metamucil in the past and found it awful and didn't do a thing for me.  What does help though, is strawberies.  I buy the frozenFrozen shoulder ones and eat about half the package every day, and not a problem afterwards.  It may take a little while for your system to adjust to being normal again, but I've found that to work for me like a charm..........

The responses to the post I just mentioned above have helped me so much, maybe they might help you too. Go and read them, especially the one that talks about soluble fibre.  I followed the advice, and have soluble fibre (eg rice bran, guar gum - but only a little bit of that - I was also using psyillium husks but the lady at the health food shop suggested not to use them because they aren't as gentle as rice bran) before I eat anything - I was so pleased about the difference (only my husband understands my happiness!).  I am also taking some tablets called Panazyme "digestiveDigestive system
