Psyllium seed powder, benefibre, fibre supplements..

I think it depends on how many posts focus on one thing and how many people try it as to one's perspective of what works better.

Inulin....it helps to promote butyrate in the colon which helps to maintain a strong mucosal layer. You also need probiotics for it to work its absolute best.

What's the reason you're taking it? Is it to bulk up stool?

Some people are sensitive to psyllium and can't take it...the inulin is a good option.

You could consider to add the psyllium seed powder and still take the benefiber...using two different fibres in one day.

All you can do is follow the directions (some may say for constipation, others may say for stool bulking) and do some tweaking if necessary. I would suggest, however, that you start slowly with a smaller amount for a few days and then increase in incriments until the full dosage.

Keep us posted as to how it works for you.

sounds like a good plan. Does it say to take it with meals?

Keep us posted.

     I was thinking of Metamucil myself.  I still have urgency and soft stools.  Yesterday, I didn't go at all.  This morning I went in excess of six times already.  I had to go for a blood test this morning too...ugh...barely made it home.  I not only have IBS, UP but diverticulosis to boot!
