Metamucil has the tendency to absorb all the extra fluid and expand. I take 1 tsp in morning and 1 before dinner and soon will reduce it to 1/2tsp . I asked the surgeon if it has tendency to increase the urge, his response was mixed. He said the role of pysillium husk is to bulk up the stool and its easy to hold back bulked up stool rather than liquid, but it has the tendency to increase the urge for the first few months of its usage. The amount I take largely depends on how consistent is my output. Also initial days of taking Metamucil the pouch adjusts to its usage. Find your optimal dose and you're good to go 👍
