After anal cancer treatment I have had a difficult time with diarrhea and some bowel incontinence. The sweet admin for analwise neighborhood recommended Metamucil to bulk stool and to reduce what she called the “quick exit” issue. It has helped!

I suffered Major LARS for 7 years and recently my gastroenterologist from U of Mich suggested I try taking one immodium every other day at bedtime and one daily dose of psyllium seed (Metamucil) around noonish. It has worked wonders for me!
