Hi Lisa Luceir,
I hope I’m answering the right email! If you have a problem with soft stools which I do and a bowel prolapse, my urologist suggested Metamucil to add bulk to help my loose stools. A lot of people think that Metamucil is only for constipation. Also I have found that chocolate and cheese will firm up bowels. Some people don’t have same results with chocolate, it makes their bowels loose. I don’t think you have to give up up your nutricious salads and oatmeal with berries. Just add cheese to your salads and I think your problem will be solved. As for the oatmeal, add some form of chocolate to it like like the almond butter with chocolate in it. I’m not a doctor, but these methods have worked for me! By the way I also have a prolapsed bladder and surgery will only make it worse at this point. I’m starting PT for it too as soon as I get an appt. Let me know if these changes help.

@coralbells1 Actually your response should have been to me. I was told to try Metamucil but it didn’t help. I also tried Imodium. That helped a little but not enough. I am eating more cheese but I’m trying to drop a few pounds and cheese is pretty caloric. I did put goat cheese in my salads, it has about half the sodium of other cheeses and I need to watch sodium.

I eat a little dark chocolate every day, I can’t deny myself everything.
I am thinking that for me the worst culprit is the berries. I had a salad tonight for the first time in about a week and a half, so I will see how that goes.

Thanks for the input. I had no idea chocolate might help! Maybe I’ll have to allow myself more. This only became a problem with the immunosuppressants, but the problem is made worse by my healthy eating habits! I don’t think everyone has that problem from them, I guess I’m just lucky. :-/
