@frh Konsyl is what I started with 40+years ago. i think it was the only thing on the market back then, and my GI doc recommended it. I have switched to the Walmart plain psyllium powder. It is very similar to Konsyl at about half the price. Do you take Vsl#3? I’ve been taking it for about 6 months now and I think I’ve got my pouchitis under control. It is expensive, but if it works, it’s well worth the cost.

@lhstephenson thank you for your suggestion. I haven’t heard of the VSL I will do my research. Funds are limited as I’m on Social Security but maybe the doctor can find a way to get it covered In my medical situation. The Kinsyl prices shut up like a rocket since20 years ago have really got out of hand. I think I even wrote them about it anyway, I’ll try the Walmart brand, but I have tried some on Amazon like Yerba etc with definite similar results. It’s been touch and go trial and error for so many years. I just wish something actually worked in its entirety, but I don’t think that’s possible. I’ve kept a diaries of things. I’ve tried and feel like I need to just let it go and stick with what I’ve discovered. But I will look into the VSL at least it’s something that is new. I haven’t tried. Thank you so much for your help and support. You have a beautiful day. The irritation when eating is not fun and that’s really the thing I need to get a grip on. Adding the Chia ground seeds to the psyllium has been the best thing so far.
