I used to get the sugar free Metamucil. That added even more air in my digestion. I still have BM without it, though if I take the Miralax. But, I won’t go if I just take Metamucil. I’ll be goad when they figure it out. Colonoscopy schedule next month. I have a funny feeling it’ll be normal, just like it was in 2020.

@celia16 anything “sugar free” most often has artificial sweetener in it - and it is those artificial sweeteners that make people gassy. Also, artificial sweeteners make things taste sweeter than regular sugared.

Hope your colonoscopy goes well. I got one on Tuesday - had three polyps removed. Doctor informed me: “at your age, you will not need any more colonoscopies”! I am 77 and will be 78 this year. Wondered if he thought I already had one foot in the grave! lol. Apparently in Canada seniors past 70 are not eligible for repeat colonoscopies on the government health plan, I have been told by a couple of friends when I told them about the doctor’s comment. 🤷🏼‍♀️
