Maybe the amount of liquid a person consumes when eating is a factor. Dan T.

I accidentally deleted the e-mail which said how much oatmeal you use. I'd
appreciate if you could give it once again.
I was told to start taking a Metamucil by my doctor quite some time ago in
order to make sure that I kept regular and so the stool would maintain a
certain consistency. I occasionally have problems with loose stool and then
inexplicably go to constipation without any change in diet.
I have found over the last two years that I have had to do my bowel program
every other day, as I was getting too much discomfort (it actually felt like I
needed to go all of the time). After consulting a dietitian, she told me based
on my food diary that I was getting too much fiber and this was stimulating my
bowels to move as if they were getting ready to void. Now I have to watch how
often I eat my garden burgers/sausages/chicken substitute and how much other
fiber I take in.
If I can replace Metamucil with other fiber, that would be fine by me. It
would be really great if I could eat my garden accessories and a ton of salad
everyday without discomfort. I am just curious to hear what everyone on here
thinks about this.
Well, perhaps not everyone. :-)

Metamucil is designed to make you go, I do not have that problem. The
bran forms everything up really nice so I do not wake up with a mess in my bed
or have troubles during the day.
