Reply to "How best to take psyllium to slow output?"

Pammy Sue, I've had my pouch since 2009 and am always looking for things to slow down the output.   I take 1 scoop of Metamucil in about 3 ounces of water before breakfast, then 1 gummy fiber each just before lunch and dinner.   I recently found something else that help get through the night without accidents, of at least far less frequently.  My wife and I have lunch at around noon, then just  a light dinner.    I usually just have a cocktail and a few slices of hard cheese and a few crackers.   And maybe a cookie or two while watching television.   Since doing that my nightly accidents have pretty much stopped.    My wife is very nutritionally conscious and doesn't really approve of that routine but it works for me.   While the cheese slows things down overnight, I have noticed more urgency after my morning coffee.  But I prefer the occasional morning race to the toilet to having accidents while asleep.  My cholesterol stays at around 120 (lucky me) so that isn't a problem.  Calories are an issue but I think my recently found motility solution is a reasonable tradeoff.   



Good luck to you!
