My pcp recommended a probiotic plus Metamucil. The Metamucil helped the diarrhea but made me feel constantly like I had mush in my gut that I just couldn’t evacuate. Not a pleasant sensation. So finally after months I stopped the Metamucil. Now I’m back to the diarrhea, surprising me at the least convenient times. I never go out without latex gloves, baby wipes and protective pads as well as extra underwear. We’re going to Spain 2 weeks from today. Wish me luck as I am about, not happily, to restart the Metamucil.

My Gastroenterologist awhile back recommended the probiotic, Align, for me and it has helped me so much with GI issues.
All the best to you,
Rita
