I went on a gluten free, dairy free low anti-histimine diet. It has cleared up most of the gut problems but I am trying to find the correct balance between how many metamucil I can take, how much water I need to drink so I don't get diarhea or constipated. The diet, although, fairly restrictive has helped me feel a lot better. I was on a stool softener daily at the beginning and that helped tremendously with the water. You have to drink at least four 16 oz bottles of water a day for it to work and maybe more depending on your size. Good luck. it is trial and error.

Does not work for me. Can't take Metamucil. My constipation was extremely severe. Had to take lactulose three times a day and sometimes amatiza.
I don't have a problem with gluten. I'm on a vegetarian diet and I eat very little dairy. It's long Covid, and my body has to kill the virus. Meds didn't help much.
