Questions about Metamucil and Imodium

Hi everyone!

Almost 8 months post-takedown here, and things going well so far I think. (5 BMs a day, one at night)

I wanted to try Metamucil mostly for the night part, since I’ve heard it might help. I still cannot sleep through a full night, it has happened to me like… two or three times so far.
I bought it but I felt like my frequency increased a bit, I definitely had more urges than usual… I tired it once, just one small teaspoon.
Is that normal as it adjusts over time or my intestine just doesn’t like it? Is it worth another try?

About Imodium: I started to take it only before bed time, 2 pills, suggested by GI. It works the first two nights then it’s like drinking water. I have a “break” and then it works again… I’m so confused! What should I even do about this… nothing changes whether I take Imodium or not, I still wake up during my the night.
