I think it's actually good for the pouch. When I stop taking it for to long, I have difficulty passing stool and my butt gets sore.
I do have difficulty passing stool sometimes. i forgot to take Metamucil a few days and BM was less frequent so i stoped taking it, wasn't aware that it helps for passing as well, will start taking again, thanks for you help.
