I started using Metamucil this week but My stools are not thickening.

How much are you using? I take one full dose prepared as described on the package with breakfast and dinner, and it has a modest but useful effect for me. If I wanted a greater effect I’d take it with lunch, too.

I tried the capsules but they didn’t seem to mix adequately during their trip through my body. The wafers worked well but added more calories than I wanted, so I’ve been using the powder for quite a while now.

How thick are you trying to make your stools? Solid, formed stools aren’t ideal for J-pouchers. Applesauce consistency is generally better.
