Reply to "Need help w/ gas and odor"

I find I don't need any additional substance breakdown in my system. I need the opposite! Which is why the Imodium and husk slow things down, otherwise they would follow right through.

I'm now 4.5 months from my pouch connection. I'm taking 2 Imodium every 6 hours (this is the max recommended dosage). I'm consuming 3 tsp of the orange-flavored stevia psyllium husk 3x/day (note that the dosage with sugar is much higher, like tablespoons vs teaspoons). This is getting me like 22g of soluble fiber daily, plus whatever else I get in food like whole wheat bagels. I'm still passing 8-10 bms daily, but it's better than 20. Best of all, my urgency is like normal. I am just starting to feel comfortable that I can hold it well enough that I don't have to carry clean-up gear with me for every errand and walk.

Hope this is helpful for my fellow pouchers.
