how to increase metamucil dose

I'm currently taking one metamucil capsule (500mg psyllium husk) with dinner. I want to increase the dose to two capsules but I'm not sure what would give me the most benefit. I can either take one more capsule at dinner so two at once or take one capsule earlier in the day and then again at dinner. The metamucil helps me have stool thats easier to pass which I really need right now, I'm having to go to the washroom a bunch of times just to pass gas and blood and mucus and blood clot (or w/e they are). I strain when doing so and it really sucks only seeing proper stool once or twice out of many washroom trips.

thanks
