I keep contemplating adding this.  My stools are formed most of the time.  But they are broken like they come out in formed pieces.  I'm sure because I limit my fiber and such.  However I am bleeding and nervous to as the psyllium seed powder.  Anyone have this actually help the bleeding?  I feel like when I go the stool may not be soft enough and it rips everything open again.

I have that problem lately too. I can never have "normal" it's always either too firm or too soft. It' very annoying. I haven't tried psylllium powder. Please let me know if it helps you. I don't think your problem has to do with diet though, inflammation causes those soft stools or the ones that break in the toilet. I hate those.

Mine are actually formed into oval or round pieces not really soft. I will let you know if I add it.

Ordered it but never tried it. I keep getting nervous I will have more bleeding.

psyllium powder definitely increased my frequency and makes much softer stools. didn't notice a lot in regards to bleeding though.

It won't help the bleeding, but it will soften and bulk (fluff) the stool to make it easier to pass.

Your stool description sounds as though you're still flaring, but lower in the rectum. The psyllium seed powder will help with the stool consistency for sure.
