Reply to "Best stool binders (and do I need them...?)"

I used metamucil when I had my loop ostomy and thought for sure I'd use it after takedown. I have tried it numerous times and it does not work well with my pouch, meaning gas and increased frequency. I dont use anything and find I do pretty well at 7 months out, other than I've been on antibiotics three times for suspected pouchitis. However, everyone is different so just experiment to see what works for you.  I've never had extremely runny stools consistently. I take immodium if I do otherwise no meds for me.
