i am one year removed from my illeostomy take down. Things have been going well when taking VCL twice a day and then MiraFiber after every meal. Pretty consistent BMs with no real concerns right now. The question that I have is has anyone switched from powder MiraFiber to the tablets and had similar success with them?  It's not the main product so if others have insight into switching from powder Metamucil to the tablets, that'd be good to know as well. I'm a little skeptical, as we all know what happens after about a minute in water with the powder...  I bought a bottle of the pills anyway to experiment  

 

any inisght would be great! My doctors aren't really sure too so it'd be nice to have some info to give them. Thanks!!

The powder works really well for me too and I would do that over the capsules. Also, in buying another bottle I wanted to be cheap and save $10 so I bought the off brand kind (quite a difference in price!). Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well and actually has done kind of weird things with my stools. Back to the good stuff...lesson learned for me.
