Metamucil - bulks the stools. I highly recommend it! Metamucil contains a bulk-forming fiber without any chemical stimulants. The active ingredient, psyllium, is a harvested grain that absorbs and holds moisture. This causes the psyllium to swell, supplying the necessary bulk to help form an easily eliminated stool. Metamucil will not cause immediate evacuation but generally produces an effect in 12 to 72 hours. --------------- Keep mouth moist - drink plenty of water. -------------------- If you have the slightest bit of nausea take the activan. Do not wait until it is too late. You can cut these pills in half even though they are small. -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- |
